Session Description

This highly practical session explores the integration of wellbeing into mathematics education, emphasising numeracy's role in human flourishing. We'll examine how numeracy extends beyond traditional mathematics, influencing success across various life domains. Participants will learn classroom ready strategies to make numeracy and maths education more relevant, engaging, and accessible, for all students. We'll discuss shifting from narrow, subject-focused mathematics to a broader numeracy approach connecting mathematical skills to real-world applications. The session will explore a strengths-based vision of numeracy and maths education to address negative perceptions of mathematics and disengaging behaviours. This session aims to equip you with some accessible tools and strategies to enhance maths wellbeing in the classroom.

Key takeaways: 1. Practical and accessible strategies for embedding wellbeing in F-12 classrooms.
2. A strengths-based approach aiming to make numeracy and maths education more relevant, engaging, and accessible for all students.
3. Promoting wellbeing through broadening mathematics education to practical numeracy skills applicable across life domains.
