As we seek to make mathematics relevant, and enjoyable to both teach and to learn, a great place to start is the interests of our children. What is it that really interests our learners? And how might we take those interests and build worthwhile and enjoyable experiences from those. Doug will share many examples that he has used in recent years, drawing upon the interests of primary students and his six grandchildren (four of whom are in early years or junior primary). And we’ll have some fun too!

Key takeaways:
Hopefully, some inspiration and examples of how participants might use the interests of their own learners as a springboard for mathematics learning.
