Prepare to embark on a journey where pedagogy transforms the teaching and learning of mathematics. In this session, discover how problem-solving, reasoning, communication, making connections, creating representations, and investigating come together to foster critical thinking. Drawing insights from “Concept-Based” and "Visible Learning for Mathematics", we'll explore the power of clear learning intentions, actionable feedback, and metacognitive strategies. Through active participation and dynamic exploration, students will unravel the mysteries of complex numbers, a topic that students and teachers often find difficult in VCE Specialist Maths and IB Analysis and Approaches HL. Leveraging TI-Nspire technology, abstract concepts become tangible and manipulable. Witness how integrating these evidence-based strategies can create a classroom where students are not just learning but thriving. Join us to unlock the secrets of effective mathematical pedagogy, harnessing the full potential of surface, deep, and transfer learning. Are you ready to transform your teaching and captivate your students?

Key takeaways:
1. Understand how to develop and differentiate surface learning, deep learning and transferable learning.
2. Promoting ‘big ideas’ through inquiry and critical thinking.
3. Learning how to leverage TI-Nspire technology to facilitate investigation by searching for patterns, testing conjectures, justifying interpretations and generalising results.

Remember: Participants are encouraged to bring their own CAS device. Spare TI-Nspire CAS handheld calculators will be available to borrow during the workshop.
