This workshop will engage teachers in practical and enjoyable learning experiences that focus on understanding, problem solving and reasoning and aim to raise awareness of statistical data investigation processes. The learning experiences shared will focus on collaborative and active learning and will also utilise and challenge students understanding and application of number knowledge and understanding. This workshop will support teachers of Years F-3.

Entry Form FYI interest only (Click here) Registrations closed end of Term 2 Why not being scared of maths delivers big results Australian children with Chinese heritage outperform their non-Chinese peers by 2.5 years of schooling. A researcher looks at why. Dr Mok, a former primary teacher and now education academic, noticed a key difference: Chinese families do not believe that maths ability is innate, but that mathematics is a skill to be mastered. The key is in practice rather than talent. To this end, Chinese families, support this valuable skill area, many by sending their children to coaching colleges where they will receive extra practice opportunities. They have a growth mindset, believing in their ability to learn through applying themselves, and therefore do not fear mathematics.

All entries received a certificate. This year, as well as JSMEP, there is now an opportunity for all students to enter the South Australian Mathematics Talent Quest (SAMTQ) from years R -7 and 11-12. The Department for Education very generously supports JSMEP (years 8-10), allowing MASA to award cash prizes, while MASA supports SAMTQ with cash prizes in three categories (individual, group and class) at all year levels. Students are invited to explore any area of interest to them and present their findings in whatever format they wish. They may also enter a project, assignment or folio task done in class. This activity is not necessarily extra for students but is an extension of good teaching practice. The best of these entries will then be entered into the National Maths Talent Quest organised by the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers Key Dates for SAMTQ & JSMEP: Competition Registration closes Friday 6 July 2018 (register here) Delivery of entries to MASA Friday 10 August 2018 SA Judging Sunday 19 August 2018 National Judging Wednesday 6 September 2018 National Presentation Thursday 18 October 2018 SA Award Ceremony Monday 22 October 2018 Click here for SAMTQ Primary info and forms Click here for JSMEP info and forms Click here for SAMTQ Senior info and forms 5 School visits from engineering professionals! SPE-SA would like to support you in encouraging STEM based learning. Our keen volunteers would appreciate the opportunity to speak to your Year 9 to 12 students about the engineering profession. To arrange a school visit, please email your contact details to [email protected] A wealth of energy education resources are also available at www.energy4me.org to assist teachers Who is SPE? The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit, professional organisation with 168,000 members worldwide. The local South Australian Section (SPE-SA) has 500 members and is run by a team of enthusiastic volunteers. SPE’s vision is to enable the sharing of technical knowledge amongst its members, to meet the world’s growing energy needs, in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. As part of our commitment to the local community, SPE-SA actively supports the promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) based learning. We see this as an investment in the next generation of talented students who will become South Australia’s future engineers and leaders. SPE-SA has been an avid supporter of MASA for the past two decades, through sponsorship of the School Mathematics Competition. Over the past 30 years our volunteers have also been actively engaged with the broader community via school visits, organisation of student / teacher workshop and Science Alive! Geoff Philips, an experienced mathematics teacher and author from Victoria, has a huge FREE set of resource materials. Geoff is very kindly making this material available to teachers in SA through his website. After enquiries from several teachers at the recent MASA Annual Conference, in addition to Fifty50 worksheets (see first link below) Geoff has now made available two Polyhedra construction books in pdf format (see second link below). After clicking on a link, wait for the linked page to load, then right-click the required resource and select "Download" to download. You may also navigate through folders or view files online before downloading by double-clicking several times.
