Melbourne Mathematics Conference | The Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV) in collaboration with The University of Melbourne: Faculty of Education present a conference focusing on, Elevating Mathematics Education through Connecting Thoery and Practice.
The conference theme, Elevating Mathematics Education through Connecting Theory and Practice, brings together educators, researchers, mathematicians, and industry professionals to align theoretical insights with practical classroom applications. Through keynotes, interactive workshops, and collaborative sessions, participants will explore how evidence-informed research can shape effective teaching, foster deep mathematical understanding, and respond to real-world challenges. This event supports continual professional learning, innovation, and connection across the mathematics education community.
Venue: In person at -The University of Melbourne - Kwong Lee Dow Building, 234 Queensberry St, Melbourne.
Time: 9am to 3.30pm each day followed by happy hour.
Program:
- Early Bird Regsitration (8th Dec - 31st Jan26)
- Full prgram launced Jan 31st 2026

| Primary Mathematics Teachers Stream | |
| Deepening Mathematical Content Knowledge Explore big mathematical ideas, discover ways to connect concepts across strands, and gain strategies to address common misconceptions. Pedagogical Approaches Explore different pedagogical approaches and when and how to use them effectively. Equity and Inclusion Unpack strategies to create equitable classrooms through culturally responsive practice, effective differentiation, and approaches that support diverse learners in all contexts. Assessment and Feedback Reimagining assessment beyond standardised testing by using formative strategies and student work samples to inform teaching and enhance learning. |

| Early Childhood Educators Stream | |
| Deepening Mathematics Content Knowledge Strengthen knowledge of how mathematical ideas develop in the early years and identify strategies to support foundational concepts through hands-on and exploratory learning. Developing a Positive Disposition Foster children's curiosity, confidence, and enjoyment in mathematics through playful, engaging, and meaningful experiences. Intentional Planning Explore ways to embed mathematics into everyday routines and play by planning intentional learning opportunities that respond to children's interests and developmental needs. Assessment and Feedback Examine approaches to noticing, documenting, and interpreting children's mathematical thinking to inform intentional teaching and support ongoing learning. |

| CAS Pedagogy Stream | |
| CAS as a Thinking Partner
Use the CAS as a reasoning tool to spark prediction and discussion, rather than as a tool to calculate arithmetic. Making Mathematical Structure Visible Link algebraic, graphical, and numerical representations to deepen understanding. Encouraging Exploration and Conjecture Design open-ended tasks where CAS supports pattern finding, generalisation, and computational thinking. Building Critical Digital Literacy Teach students to question, interpret, and verify CAS results rather than accept them uncritically. |
