Five global education experts sat down with Teacher to give a snapshot of the developments and challenges in mathematics in their respective countries.

‘The emphasis is that the students are the ones doing the learning, not the teachers doing the teaching.’ Professor Peter Sullivan discusses a system project designed to challenge students in mathematics.

Nearly 1500 students in Years 5 to 12 took part in the latest Australian STEM Video Game Challenge. Here, Teacher provides an overview of the award winners for 2015.

‘You need to plan for what might arise, remembering that the range of skills and abilities of the group is likely to be very wide.’ Dave Tout discusses identifying individual maths skills and targeting lessons.

When connecting maths to the real world, how do you move from a chosen theme or context into something achievable for you and your learners? Dave Tout discusses.

How can we engage girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths? One school is tackling the issue full steam ahead.
