Teaching the Unexpected Mathematics: How Digital Technologies Unlocked Incidental Primary Mathematics Concepts
Emily Ross; Margaret Marshman; Natalie McMaster
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (46th, Gold Coast, Australia, Jun 30-Jul 4, 2024)
Diminishing duplication and finding connections between the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" and "Digital Technologies" were a focus of the revision to version 9. This emphasis has provided enhanced opportunities for integration of these learning areas. In this exploratory multiple case study, interviews with teachers following teaching an integrated task identified connections to other mathematical concepts that had not been considered during planning. These findings indicate that integrating mathematics and digital technologies can potentially provide opportunities to deepen and consolidate learning in mathematics through connections beyond the initially intended concepts.
