2009 conference
From the AAMT President
AAMT holds a conference every two years to showcase quality teaching in mathematics. Teachers of primary, secondary and tertiary students as well as teacher educators, researchers and government representatives share and discuss initiatives to promote the learning of mathematics. Participants from all states and territories of Australia as well as from other countries provide a rich source of teaching and learning ideas. The diversity of contributions to the conference is a real strength and provides an opportunity not to be missed.
AAMT 2009 in Fremantle, Western Australia will be no exception; internationally recognised speakers in mathematics education will set the scene for stimulating discussions about the teaching and learning of mathematics. Presentations and workshops by teachers will highlight effective classroom practices and exhibitors will present a range of the latest resources.
The support of our sponsors helps us to provide a quality experience. In 2009, we are especially pleased to have the support of the WA Department of Education and Training as principal sponsor, and the continued support of the Commonwealth Bank Foundation, Australian Mathematics Trust, Texas Instruments, as well as Teaching Australia.
Come to Fremantle in July 2009 to share your experiences, learn about new initiatives and network with others who have a passion for mathematics. I encourage all teachers to join us for what promises to be another wonderful conference.
Judy Anderson, AAMT President
