Who this course is for
Teachers and school leadership
Learning outcomes
The key goal of the course is to investigate how teachers can engage students in mathematical inquiry to raise their achievement.
Online readings and activities will cover:
- communication and participation in the mathematics inquiry classroom
- grouping arrangements and student perspectives
- planning for learning, including tools, tasks and representations.
This course will build on the Ministry of Education’s Best Evidence Synthesis Exemplar 1, which promotes best practices in teaching mathematics.

Professor Jodie Hunter
Jodie research interests are in Pasifika education and the teaching and learning of mathematics. Her growing interest is in the development of culturally responsive teaching for Pasifika students in the mathematics classroom. Central to this area is the need to consider the cultural, linguistic and social contexts of Pasifika students and to develop stronger home/community and school partnerships.
