Description
HIGH IMPACT TEACHING STRATEGIES (HITS) for teaching primary mathematics.
Mathematics can be complicated to teach; therefore, we want to maximise effective student learning time using quality tasks.
In this two-day course, tasks will be shared that illustrate how HITS may be incorporated into the teaching of mathematics. Guidance for ways to DIFFERENTIATE and assess tasks will be given.
Leaders and participants will be introduced to Whole School Approaches (WSA) for teaching mathematics, in the areas of:
• Fluency - Basic Number Facts, and
• Problem Solving, including word problems and mathematical modelling.
Opportunities will be provided to discuss various school contexts and to focus on certain HITS most applicable to individual school contexts. To this end, it would be ideal if two participants could attend, one with a leadership role such as a deputy or numeracy leader.
Links to the proposed WA and Australian V9 mathematics curriculum will be referenced.
Participants will be given a brief background reading to illustrate key HITS that can be shared with colleagues at school.
Outcomes
- Participants will read and engage in discussions about the latest research on teaching as applied to primary mathematics.
- Participants will review the balance of explicit and enquiry teaching approaches used in their schools as applied to primary mathematics.
- Participants will formulate plans for improving the teaching and learning of primary mathematics.
Presenters
David Dunstan (AISWA Staff)
Coordinator | Numeracy
David has worked with AISWA for 15 years as a Numeracy Consultant. He taught mathematics to rural students in WA for 28 years. David regularly presents at state and national conferences, and delivers ‘hands-on’ workshops, which includes, “A Whole School Approach to Teaching Place Value” and “Using Cards and Counters to Link the Proficiencies”. In collaboration with Dr Paul Swan, David has co-authored many books, which includes the “Check the Clues” series, “My Word Book: Mathematics” and the 2024 published, “Mathematics Games with School Friendly Cards Book 3”.
Dr Paul Swan
Dr Paul Swan has many years of experience having taught at the primary secondary and tertiary level. He has written many books and games and created resources to help support teachers and the teaching of mathematics. His website www.drpaulswan.com.au contains many further support materials, many which are free.
He is the recipient of many awards, the most recent being for the development and publishing of Bond Blocks. Recently he has developed video PL courses and offers live and pre-recorded video PL as well as face to face PL.
