Quotes

‘…students become numerate as they develop the knowledge and skills to use mathematics confidently across other learning areas at school and in their lives more broadly. Numeracy encompasses the knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions that students need to use mathematics in a wide range of situations. It involves students recognising and understanding the role of mathematics in the world and having the dispositions and capacities to use mathematical knowledge and skills purposefully.’

(ACARA, 2017)

If students spend most of a lesson watching someone else do the math and then duplicate what that person does, then they are unlikely to see how a new idea connects to their prior learning or to generate their own conjectures relevant to the topic at hand.

(Allen & Schnell 2016)

Mathematics surrounds everyone in their everyday lives, but for many it can seem invisible.

Viewing the world through ‘Maths Eyes’ provides excellent opportunities to see – and actively look for – maths in the real world.

Maths Eyes is based on the idea that if individuals are supported to look at familiar things in their environment through a ‘maths lens’, they will begin to see that mathematics is all around them and this will help them build confidence in their own ability to use mathematics.

When students have Maths Eyes they become more confident in their own proficiency in mathematics and begin to regard themselves as a maths person (https://haveyougotmathseyes.com).

Out of the classroom and into the real world. Use Maths Eyes to support students to see the maths in everyday life.

Why is maths important?

Maths has been integral to our progress as a species and will help us solve some of the biggest challenges that lay ahead.

Why maths is important in the modern world

Imagine a world without maths.

No counting, no measuring, no algorithms. No calendars, no money, no computers.

How would we build safe shelters? How would we produce enough food? Fight diseases? Travel or communicate across long distances? If you or your child has ever wondered why maths is important, think of what we would struggle to achieve without it.

Maths has been integral to our progress as a species. Ever since we first started counting, maths has helped us to understand the world around us. Without maths, we would never have built the pyramids, mapped the stars, learnt to navigate or created the first vaccine.

Maths is everywhere, but we take it for granted. Yet we will need it to solve all of the biggest challenges facing the world today.

No counting, no measuring, no algorithms. No calendars, no money, no computers.
