Energising Science and Mathematics Education
Energising Science and Mathematics Education in Victoria is a suite of actions which, together, are designed to interest more students in mathematics and science education, lift their achievements in mathematics and science and assist their teachers to provide engaging, innovative learning experiences in mathematics and science. The actions, which build on current initiatives, focus on
- improving infrastructure
- support strategic partnerships
- build workforce capacity, and
- expand resources to support a contemporary curriculum.
Science and Mathematics Education Excellence Awards
The Victorian Science and Mathematics Education Excellence Awards recognise and support innovative partnerships between government schools and industry that support science and mathematics education.
Task Types and Mathematics Learning (TTML)
Task Types and Mathematics Learning (TTML) is a set of classroom activities that were designed by Victorian teachers as part of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage project scheme conducted by Monash University and the Australian Catholic University.
