Introduction to the project
The Using finance and measurement applications to improve number understanding of Indigenous students project aimed to enhance the engagement, retention and learning of number and operations by Indigenous students from seven schools in or near Cherbourg and Woorabinda by improving the teaching and learning of finance and measurement applications of these numbers and operations.
This project was undertaken in 2007 by means of professional development seminars, supported classroom trials by teachers of new ideas presented at the seminars, and development of resources containing these teaching ideas for finance (first semester) and measurement (second semester).
This material has been developed as a part of the Australian School Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics Project funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training as a part of the Boosting Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics Teaching (BISTMT) Programme.
