The department of science teaching has been active in the field of mathematics education since 1967. In the years since then, the mathematics group has advanced mathematics education through development and implementation of curricula, teachers\u2019 professional development, assessment and research. Much of our work is around the research and development of environments that can support significant and meaningful learning of mathematical topics that comprise the school curriculum.<\/p>\n
The materials that we develop – to support learning, teaching and facilitation – include text books, worksheets, teacher guides, professional development portfolios, games and computerized tutorials. This material provides students, teachers and PD facilitators with tools, direction and support that are necessary for achieving the goals they are expected to achieve, and empowers them to express their individual abilities and strengths. Research that the mathematics groups conducts contributes locally to the development of curricula, and globally to the general advancement of the academic field of research in mathematics education.<\/p>\n
