To repeat Kevin

“Where this project goes depends on where you take it!”

Big Picture…this project is an opportunity to develop content knowledge and the pedagogy of mathematics in your school.

DEFINE NUMERACY

Numeracy is …

Is numeracy more about the learning of number or mathematics?

MIND MAP PLEASE

Get a buddy or three and record what you know and expect to be doing in 2009.

ISF

LE FIN

This is a journey into mathematics education.

Take every opportunity to improve your pedagogy and those around you.

Record this PD in your CV.

Enjoy the journey.
