Seminar One:

Learning through comparing responses to open-ended tasks

I’ll present a ‘comparative judgement’ approach to peer learning with an example from primary arithmetic. The approach shows promise for engaging children in thinking and communicating about mathematical ideas and the relationships between them. In this talk I will use experimental evidence to discuss how comparative judgement can be implemented in the classroom, and how it can be used to ensure learning occurs.

Seminar Three:

Decolonising Mathematics Education through Story: Insights from International Collaboration

I will reflect on the process of developing a children’s storybook resource for teaching fractions and measurement, and on understanding the effects of using this resource in diverse international contexts. This process reflects an effort to integrate mathematical learning with a culturally grounded narrative. These experiences raised critical questions about decolonising mathematics education and about how educational practices in the mathematics classroom can better reflect and affirm learners’ cultural identities.
