Visual Models and Language in Maths: Addition and Subtraction
Looking for classroom-ready tasks and strategies for differentiation that help students develop good understanding of addition and subtraction K-6?
Course Description
In this short course, Anita will guide your whole staff through the developmental sequence of learning for Addition and Subtraction K–6 and explain strategies for differentiation that are powerful but easy to implement.
Using a range of equipment and visual models from dice and double-nine dot dominoes to ten frames and the empty number line, Anita will demonstrate tasks and mathematical language you can use for effective whole-class differentiated instruction. Your teachers will come away with practical strategies for differentiation in the classroom that they can use the very next day.

Delivery Model
This short course is delivered as an after-school customised workshop at your school for your whole staff. It most often follows a day of demonstration lessons on the same concept, but it can also be delivered as a ‘stand-alone’ course. It is suitable for early career teachers, experienced teachers, learning support educators, maths leaders and school leaders.
You can choose either a 2-hour or 3-hour course. If you choose the 3-hour course, teachers will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the developmental sequence of content from Kindergarten to Year 6. The 3-hour course also allows time for teachers to work in small teams to reflect on their current practice and begin to determine areas of change moving forward.
