My Background?
• DEC WSR Schools 1987 – 2007• Macquarie University 1990 - 1996• MBTHS 2007• Lachlan Macquarie College 2008
![Page 3: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

A very brief reference to timingThe Preliminary Mathematics General course contains two Focus Studies that have been designed for approximately one-third of the course time: • Mathematics and Communication • Mathematics and Driving. (20 indicative hours each from 120)
The HSC Mathematics General 1 course contains four Focus Studies that have been designed for approximately two-thirds of the course time: • Mathematics and Design • Mathematics and Household Finance • Mathematics and the Human Body • Mathematics and Personal Resource Usage. (20 indicative hours each from 120)
What does this mean in terms of your school?50/60/70 min periods etc

• I do not like the format of the syllabus with both pathways in the same document. Be very careful that you are reading the information for the correct pathway.
Danger! Danger!

A true story – with a simple message
Relevance and engagement!!
![Page 7: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2 Examples• FM2 Investing
money (Prelim)• The principal focus of this topic
is the use of formulae and tables to perform calculations related to the value of investments over a period of time.
• 5 cards and Number/ problem solving (not particularly relevant to General 1 though!)

MAANG - Axiom
• The DEC’s micro blogging site– 282 members– Great for professional
discussions– Excellent for resources and
sharing ideas
• Simon Job’s Mathlinks

Active Data• Search Active data in TaLE.
– The matchbox factory and catch my fall
![Page 11: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Laptop WRAPS• TaLE search on “DER Wrap” for maths or this
– Stem and Leaf plots– Taxing times– Puzzling Probability– Talking Trigonometry(replace slideshow with a movie! Coming up..)– Under the surface– Investing wisely– Parallelendicular

Animoto or laptop movie making software
• “Turn your photos, video clips, and music into stunning video masterpieces to share with everyone. Fast, free, and shockingly easy!”
![Page 13: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How could video software be used?
• Students make a video to demonstrate their understanding of a concept. This could be a part of a lesson or assessment task. E.g. – identify and use the correct formula to solve practical area problems
(MM2)– estimate areas and volumes (MM2)– Digital download and file storage (FSCo2)– describe, for a given histogram, the shape of the distribution and
how the shape relates to features of the associated population or sample (DS4CEC)
Etc………Like this?
FSCo2 (Focus study: Maths and Communication)

Summary and ComparisonAnimoto • Easy, though limited to 30 sec and SD
for free version
Windows Live Movie Maker• On DER machines. Simple to use
(drag and drop timeline based), but can be a little clunky on more advanced applications. HD, no time limit
Adobe Premier Elements• On DER machines. More sophisticated
software. Does more than the others, but requires more background knowledge. HD, no time limit.

Let’s make a quick movie!
![Page 17: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Laptop Software – beyond Geogbra etc
• SRN (teacher presentation tool)• Google Sketchup (measurement)• Google Earth (measurement)• Freemind
![Page 18: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Other Ideas – if only there were time to demonstrate!
• QR Codes• Infographics• Comic creation tools• Cool tools for schools• Ipad/Ipod Apps?• Quincunx (Galton Board)
![Page 19: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
To build a thriving program• Ensure you follow the syllabus and
course assessment guidelines
• Connected classroom? (other schools or someone relevant to a topic studied)
• Use a variety of assessment tools (it is a CEC)– Self assessment– Peer assessment– Syllabus discusses an outcomes diary
for a portfolio
![Page 20: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
And…• Join an online sharing network
– Axiom– Wiki
• Go beyond textbooks– Video software– Web tools– Multimedia presentations– Edmodo, Moodle or other online
collaborative tools
• Excursions, guest speakers
![Page 21: Mark Grady Coordinator Lachlan Macquarie College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca9634/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And finally..• Embed quality resources within programs for longevity
• Develop or foster a culture of collaboration and sharing within your faculty
• Make their learning meaningful. Report findings to Exec with recommendations etc (surveys, water, electricity usage, be a smarter school with resource usage)
• Have some fun with this course
• Relevance, Relevance and Relevance
