WHAT
Join Jessica and Michelle for a hands-on experience with Concept-Based Inquiry Mathematics. Through student-centred learning, strategy talks, and practical classroom examples, educators will leave with tools to spark curiosity, build positive mindsets, and bring deeper understanding and joy to mathematics teaching and learning.
Are you:
Looking to reduce repetitive reteaching in mathematics by building deeper conceptual understanding from the start?
Ready to move beyond procedure-heavy instruction and create mathematics classrooms where student thinking, inquiry, and understanding take centre stage?
Seeking practical, concept-based strategies that foster student agency, positive mindsets, and genuine joy in mathematics learning?
Join us to discover:
How a Concept-Based, inquiry-driven approach builds deep understanding and reduces the need for reteaching
Ways to shift mathematics learning from memorisation to meaningful student thinking
Practical strategies that promote student agency, curiosity, and positive mathematical mindsets
Classroom-ready examples that bring joy, exploration, and rich mathematical thinking to life.
