Explicitly connecting known strategies to flexible mental strategies
27/2/2025 | 35 mins.
How do we teach students to choose the most effective mental strategies for solving maths problems? In this episode, Dr. Katherin Cartwright from Sydney University explores how we can equip students with the tools to flexibly and confidently apply mental strategies. Discover the role of automaticity in mental computation, what mental strategies are, and when students should use them.

Explicit connections are made among related mathematical concepts
10/8/2023 | 27 mins.
How do we teach students to make connections between mathematical concepts? In this episode Dr James Russo from Monash University will unpack how we give students the tools to make connections for themselves. Are connections just about context? Can we build some examples of important connections we should be making in different strands of mathematics learning (primary focus)?

Explicit modelling of reasoning and processes behind actions
13/7/2023 | 31 mins.
What do we mean when we discuss explicit modelling in teaching? In this episode, Dr Kristen Trippet from the reSolve Project at the Australian Academy of Science joins us to explore how we model the reasoning and processes behind actions. How do we model reasoning in a way that has an impact on how our students think and learn?

Classroom dialogue focused on making mathematical ideas explicit
29/6/2023 | 31 mins.
How do we give students the language to discuss mathematical ideas? In this episode, Shyam Drury from Scitech unpacks how to build a dialogical classroom. What are the components of effective classroom dialogue? How do we use dialogue to help students understand mathematical ideas and concepts?
