Lauren Beams
Lauren is Assistant Principal at Hagley Farm School in Northern Tasmania. An experienced primary educator, she is passionate about Mathematics and strives to ensure that all students see themselves as Mathematicians through repeated exposure to high quality teaching and learning experiences.
As councillor for the Mathematical Association of Tasmania she organises the state wide Maths Relay Competition, which sees close to 1500 students, ranging from Grade 3 to 12, compete on a Sunday every year. Her ongoing dedication to this competition is part of her dream for Mathematics – that students see Mathematics as a creative, engaging, fun and relevant subject and that the two phrases “I can’t do Maths” and “Maths is boring” will one day not be muttered!’
