6:00 – 7PM
SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
PRESENTER: DIANNE SIEMON
Dianne
Siemon is a Professor of Mathematics Education in the School of Education at
RMIT University (Victoria). She is involved in the preparation of pre-service
teachers and the supervision of higher degree students. Di has been responsible
for a number of State and Territory-wide numeracy research projects involving
Prep (Transition) to Year 9. She is a popular professional development
presenter whose interests include the development of the ‘big ideas’ in number,
the teaching and learning of mathematics in the middle years, and the use of
rich assessment tasks to inform teaching. Di is a past President of the
Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers and the Mathematical Association
of Victoria.
Di
will present to parents what they can do at home to support teachers build
mental objects for numbers (looking at strategies such as part-part-whole,
doubling etc.) She will discuss strategies for mental computation and
importance of these, link briefly to 'algorithms/processes' and then spend some
time unpacking multiplication and strategies for learning number facts based on
understanding.
AS THIS IS A FORMAL PRESENTATION WE DO ASK
THAT THIS IS AN ADULTONLY EVENT.
CHILDCARE ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE
MADE FOR SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN THROUGH MANDY AT OHSC.
