We are extending the rollout of the new curriculum to give teachers the right amount of time to get around the new syllabuses and prioritise the key areas of literacy and numeracy.

Loved visiting @UniofOxford today & the tour provided - what an amazing place for students & staff. Getting the itch to study again post PhD - but what would I do? 📚 🤓 🤔

⤵️ It has been fun! Loved all the questions coming in from teachers & parents, all over NSW. Lots of enthusiasm for the great new NSW maths K-2 syllabus for 2023
What a massive 6 months! Dr Jake has loved helping out NSW teachers & parents prepare for the new K-2 maths syllabus being implemented this year! Hope the bite-sized videos on key changes in Number help you all out! instagram.com/mystemdr/?hl=e…

Youth in STEM report. Despite equal achievement, girls less confident than boys in maths. My PhD showed importance of linking maths to social/relevant issues for girls. Students' further study influenced in order of parents, friends, then teachers 😐 industry.gov.au/sites/defaul…

Too accurate! & too common in maths. Much prefer concrete, pictorial, abstract - with a strong research backing

Enjoying helping primary teachers to prepare for implementation of the new K-2 maths. Many evidence-based changes to teaching needed - teachers need time in Term 4 to prepare - the new NSW syllabus requires a rethink for how maths is taught 🙌 PS: my cats are over me atm🐱🤣
Big milestone - celebrating with my cats who have to listen everyday 🤣 reached more than 2000 views on the videos, & trying to keep up with all the questions & requests from teachers! Keep them coming 🙌

The cats are OBSESSED with the white board markers, pens & post-it notes when I make these videos 🤷♀️🙄🤣 @mystemdr

Loving making these videos to help our primary teachers in NSW implement the new K-2 maths syllabus in only 4 months! Hope they prove useful 🙌 - hate listening back to myself 🤣🤷♂️

Really enjoying making this presentation😃 - a major focus will be on number flexibility, and moving away from the dreaded obsession with algorithms - promoting a more balanced approach 👌 @mystemdr
Dr Jake is preparing for his first community talk on how parents can support their children develop stronger number sense given the focus in the new draft NSW syllabus. He will be focusing on practical strategies to develop number flexibility & reasoning #mystemdr #mathsed

Honestly, zoom with the cat is just crazy - wanting to play or be fed, right when I need to work! Opinion piece is about celebrating the joys in teaching amongst the challenges, and alas, I think I have missed the deadline 😲. Will re-draft and wait another week 👌 @mystemdr
Busy day for Dr Jake. Morning with pre-service tchrs & the arvo supporting 2 schools -one on integrated STEM,
one on how the new draft maths syllabus will impact tching in Stages 3 & 4. Now writing an opinion piece due in 3 mins🤣All supported with his cat, Suki #mystemdr

"Who is doing the sense-making in that classroom?" Some good articles discussing the importance of using a different lesson model structure for mathematics than other learning areas. mixandmath.com/blog/gradual-… my.nctm.org/blogs/morgan-sti… tools4ncteachers.com/resourc…

Love working with my pre service tchrs - led by @Vic_Rawlings @DrNadaLabib - great leaders! I keep reminding them of the (often underreported) joys in teaching, in a sea of constant workload/pay/retention issues that dominate discourse @USyd_SSESW
Dr Jake’s unique experience has him both tching students in schools & with uni pre-service teachers. This week- Stage 4 Algebra, Stage 5 Measurement & then policy analysis at USYD, looking at his work on the new K-10 maths syllabus! #mathseducation #stemeducation #mystemdr
