Professional Learning 2017"Developing Visual Literacy and Geometrical Thinking" workshop with Karen McDaid (Launceston) Maths Inside - "Bees with Backpacks" and "Maths in 3D" workshops (Devonport) "To infinity and beyond... well, nearly!" keynote address by Assoc. Prof. Helen Chick (Launceston) Developing Geometric Reasoning with Students in Years 3 - 8 with Marj Horne (Hobart)
2013Peter Sullivan presented professional learning days in 2013 entitled "The potential of posing more challenging mathematics tasks and ways of supporting students to engage in such tasks".While most students want to work on more challenging mathematics, there are still some who require substantial support. The workshop explored examples of tasks with low "floors" but high "ceilings" that allow all students to engage with the tasks at some level, but which can be extended productively for those who are ready. A particular lesson structure that supports the work of all students on such tasks was presented and discussed. To view his presentation, please click on the link below:
