Valuing Mathematics in society. The MAV is a membership-driven association that provides a voice, leadership and proressional support for mathematics educationWelcome to MAV!

Through its programs and services, The Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV) promotes the Importance of Mathematics to Society. Our Association has over 1400 members from all sectors of education including individuals, schools, universities and other institutions. This provides membership benefits to a growing network of over 15,000 mathematics educators. MAV is the peak professional body for mathematics educators in Victoria.

MAV works with teachers and school leaders to enhance student outcomes in mathematics and numeracy, better preparing students for their personal, professional and civic lives. Our role is to support educators in developing and delivering curriculum and programs that challenge our students to become the future of mathematical creativity and innovation. In doing so we develop educator skills in implementation of evidence-based and cutting edge teaching and learning approaches.

We work directly with students to increase their engagement in mathematics through games days, our Maths Talent Quest, Girls in STEM days, mathematics camps, VCE revision support, and other activities. In doing so we increase students’ prospects towards STEM careers that support our future economy.

We provide resources to support both educators and parents, run public events, and work with various organisations and government to increase our reach and impact.

We are educational experts and leaders, supporting the future of mathematics education from early childhood to year 12. Through our 100+ events per year we reach over 60,000 educators, students and parents across metropolitan and regional Victoria.

MAV has been around for over 110 years!
