A Primary Education Mathematics Initiative in an Indigenous Community School
O'Connor, Bronwyn Reid
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (43rd, Singapore, 2021)
This study investigated the implementation of a primary mathematics initiative in an Australian Indigenous community school designed to improve students' mathematical proficiency. Throughout the 7-month initiative, four classes ranging from Year 2 to Year 6 participated in the initiative. Findings indicated an increase in mathematics achievement as measured by the Progressive Achievement Test -- Mathematics (PAT-M) throughout the initiative. As the findings from the Year 3/4 class displayed the largest growth in mathematical achievement throughout the initiative (equivalent to 1 year and 2 months), the specific pedagogies and practices enacted in this class that were found to influence students' achievement will be considered.
