Mathematics teaching matters: making complex mathematical ideas accessible to primary level children
(St. Patrick’s College, Dublin, 2011)
Reform of mathematics curricula has led to the expansion of topics such as algebra, data and probability being taught to primary level children. This new subject matter can be challenging for primary teachers to teach as ...
Geometric growing patterns: what’s the rule?
(AAMT [Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers], 2015)
We explore several examples of the way in which to use geometrical growing patterns. Examples are situated within interesting contexts to elicit algebraic generalisations by working through a five-phase analysis process.
Insights into informal inferential reasoning in the primary classroom
