In this webinar, John will introduce the exciting new content and enhanced features of the new Maths300 website (https://new.maths300.com). In addition to giving all 194 classic Maths300 lessons a fresh new look and feel, a Maths300 Writers’ Group has been established to develop brand-new lesson content. Seven entirely new lessons have already been developed and are available, taking the Maths300 lesson count past 200 for the first time! A further 10 lessons are currently in development, with AAMT aiming to add approximately 20 new lessons each year.
The Maths300 resources have been used by teachers in Australia for many years. Their ongoing popularity is testament to the effectiveness and high quality of the lessons. The underlying principle of each lesson is to encourage students to learn through inquiry, to collaborate and to think like mathematicians. Teachers and students find the Maths300 activities and investigations to be a positive and engaging way of exploring and understanding mathematical concepts in the classroom.
The webinar is intended for any maths teachers who are interested in inquiry-based teaching, with or without prior experience using Maths300.
