    Explicit connections are made among related mathematical concepts

    How do we teach students to make connections between mathematical concepts? In this episode Dr James Russo from Monash University will unpack how we give students the tools to make connections for themselves. Are connections just about context? Can we build some examples of important connections we should be making in different strands of mathematics learning (primary focus)?

    Explicit modelling of reasoning and processes behind actions

    What do we mean when we discuss explicit modelling in teaching? In this episode, Dr Kristen Trippet from the reSolve Project at the Australian Academy of Science joins us to explore how we model the reasoning and processes behind actions.   How do we model reasoning in a way that has an impact on how our students think and learn?  Host: Allan Dougan, Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) Guest: Dr. Kristen Trippet, reSolve Project, Australian Academy of Science Producer: Martin Franklin, East Coast Studio Find all episodes of Strategies for explicit teaching on the Mathematics Hub  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Classroom dialogue focused on making mathematical ideas explicit

    How do we give students the language to discuss mathematical ideas? In this episode, Shyam Drury from Scitech unpacks how to build a dialogical classroom. What are the components of effective classroom dialogue? How do we use dialogue to help students understand mathematical ideas and concepts?

    Teacher and student questioning that targets explicit concepts and processes

    Why is questioning so important? In this episode, Professor Helen Chick from the University of Tasmania joins us to explore the ‘how to’ of questions in teaching. What type of questions make for ‘good’ questions? How do you use questions while also ensuring your approach is inclusive and gives every student and opportunity to participate?

    Consideration of all students’ learning needs

    As maths teachers, how do we ensure we are considering all our students’ learning needs? In this episode, Jennifer Bowden from the Mathematical Association of Victoria joins us to discuss the key considerations required to accommodate our students’ diverse learning needs. We ask: what do we need to consider in planning, and how do we best approach differentiation?

    Purposeful planning that identifies learning outcomes and success criteria.

    What does good planning look like? In this episode, Dr Emily Ross from the University of Queensland joins us to discuss the importance of planning for effective teaching. We ask: what do we need to consider when planning, and how do we craft good learning outcomes and success criteria?
