Perfect for current educators and pre-service teachers of years Foundation – Year 10.

In this workshop educators will:

• gain a deeper understanding of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures cross-curriculum priority in the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics and how to respectfully and appropriately deliver this in the maths classroom  
• learn about ways to connect mathematics with First Nations cultures including through material culture items such as projectile technologies

The day will start with a private tour of the Australian Aboriginal Cultures Galleries with Dr Jared Thomas. Important connections will be made with relevant items in the Museum such as projectile technologies (e.g. spear throwers), instructional games, and fishing nets and traps.
