Funded Activity Summary

Elaborating a model of learning to teach mathematical inquiry. Australia's pioneering workforce in scientific and technological innovation requires classrooms which promote creative and flexible thinking, curiosity and persistence, deep disciplinary knowledge, and facility with technology, particularly in mathematics. International comparisons indicate Australia's classrooms teach out-dated procedural knowledge in maths that neglects 21st century needs. Mathematical knowledge developed through inquiry of authentic problems can provide purpose and deeper understanding as well as to cultivate capacity to grapple with uncertainty and greater complexity. This project is a university-schools partnership committed to the same purpose: promote the teaching of mathematical inquiry.
