Maths and Digital Technologies connections for Primary Educators

The links between Digital Technologies and Mathematics provide benefits to both Learning Areas in the Primary classroom.

In this afternoon workshop:

• gain a grasp of the Digital Technologies curriculum and its scope and sequence,
• get hands on with activities and lessons that address both DigiTech and Maths curricula,
• explore the computational thinking skills that make for ideal links between the two learning areas,
• receive links to relevant, useful resources.

This workshop will suit Primary teachers and learning leaders keen to address the Digital Technologies curriculum, or looking for ways to integrate Digital Technologies into classrooms.

Co-presented by Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV) and Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria (DLTV).
