Explicit Teaching in Maths
The Mathematics Hub’s free online learning modules provide high-quality professional learning to support teachers to implement explicit teaching strategies in primary school maths programs. The modules have been developed in conjunction with the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT), academics and practising teachers. The explicit teaching modules are designed around seven essential components of explicit learning that have been identified through analysis of mathematics education research.
