Centre for Research in Mathematics Education is delighted to host a series of International and National Mathematics Researchers in a Mathmatics Seminar Series 2025 – 2026.
Seminar One 2026:
David Pomeroy
on behalf of the Pāngarau Unleashed research team
Understanding and responding to the ‘problem’ of heterogeneous prior attainment in non-streamed secondary maths classes
In this presentation we will draw on eight years of work with secondary mathematics departments that have transitioned away from ‘ability’ based streaming. We will discuss: 1) how teachers adapted their planning to provide rigorous maths learning opportunities across the prior attainment spectrum; 2) how teachers’ conceptualised students’ mathematical potential; and 3) why the two are inseparably related.
