Webinar: Maths and storytelling using picture booksMathematical thinking goes beyond finding the correct answer. It involves noticing patterns, asking questions, making connections and explaining reasoning. This webinar explores how picture books can support primary students to identify and engage with mathematical ideas in stories and illustrations. Drawing on Professor Chris Matthews’ Goompi Model and Maths as Storytelling approach, you’ll see how students can move from everyday observations to mathematical representations, connecting language, visuals and symbols. The session will also highlight ways to value story, culture and connection to place, supporting links to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures priority. Who should attend: Primary teachers What to bring: A picture book to explore during the session Presented by Adelaide University’s Maths in Schools Team – Toni Falusi and Celia Coffa |
