Our one-day event is a unique convergence of Foundation to Year 10 mathematics educators, dedicated at fostering holistic, inclusive, and engaging learning experiences. Underscored by research-driven practices, this gathering is not about prescribing teaching methods but fostering exploration and innovation in maths education. On the day, you will engage with expert-led keynotes and hands-on workshops as you tackle 'Mathematical Conundrums', that encourage collaboration and creative problem-solving. You will benefit from a dynamic exchange of ideas, and leave with new lesson plans and a renewed passion for teaching. It's a day to transform your approach to maths, and inspire you to explore the beauty and complexity of mathematics with fresh eyes.

Specialised Focus: Designed exclusively for Foundation to Year 10 teachers, this symposium addresses the unique challenges and opportunities of this critical educational phase.

Bridging the Gap: Our aim is to seamlessly connect primary and secondary maths education, ensuring a fluid and comprehensive learning journey for students.

Unified Learning: Delegates attend sessions collectively, fostering collaboration and shared insights.

Hands-On Experience: Expect interactive sessions where you're not just a passive attendee but an active participant.

Expert Facilitation: Learn directly from renowned maths education gurus, respected and recognised for their contributions to the field.

Each breakout session will introduced you to a 'Mathematical Conundrum,' a problem that looks simple but unfolds into a rich tapestry of exploration and discovery. Facilitated by seasoned experts, these problems are your gateway to seeing mathematics through a new lens.

• Unpack the Problem (30 mins): Work in groups to unravel the conundrum, encouraging a free exchange of ideas and strategies.

• Showcase your solution (3-5 mins per group): Each group presents their unique approach, exchanging ideas and highlighting the diversity of mathematical thought.

• Links to Curriculum (15 mins): Discover how to differentiate your problem and adapt it to different year levels, making your lessons more inclusive and engaging.

Not only will you leave with a fresh perspective on problem-solving and mathematical modelling, but you'll also walk away with a practical array of maths essentials for your teacher toolkit:

• A resource pack full of session materials, including fully-prepared lesson plans for each 'Mathematical Conundrum' and solutions ready for immediate classroom application.

• Expert advice on how to effectively present and engage students with mathematical problems, transforming each lesson into an adventure.

• Strategies to tailor problems for diverse learning needs and link them directly to curriculum objectives, ensuring lessons are inclusive and relevant.
