Teaching Secondary Mathematics

Secondary mathematics teachers working in the Australian education sector are required to plan lessons that engage with students of different genders, cultures and levels of literacy and numeracy. Teaching Secondary Mathematics engages directly with the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers to help preservice teachers develop lesson plans that resonate with students. This edition has been thoroughly revised and features a new chapter on supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students by incorporating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and ways of knowing into lessons. Chapter content is supported by new features including short-answer questions, opportunities for reflection and in-class activities. Further resources, additional activities, and audio and visual recordings of mathematical problems are also available for students on the book's companion website. Teaching Secondary Mathematics is the essential guide for preservice mathematics teachers who want to understand the complex and ever-changing Australian education landscape.

Gregory Hine is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Notre Dame Australia in Fremantle. He previously taught in Australia and the United States predominantly in the areas of mathematics and science to middle and high school students for fourteen years. Greg completed both of his Master of Education degrees at The University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana. In 2011 he completed his doctoral studies at Notre Dame's Fremantle Campus, and was appointed to a full-time academic faculty position in the School of Education. Greg teaches into the undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs, predominantly in secondary mathematics education, and educational action research. His areas of scholarly interest are professional noticing in the mathematics classroom, and the training of pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers. In 2019 Greg was awarded the Vice Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Education (Secondary Mathematics).

Judy Anderson is Associate Professor in mathematics education, former Director of the STEM Teacher Enrichment Academy at the University of Sydney. In her role as secondary mathematics curriculum coordinator, Judy has been teaching and researching at the University of Sydney for eighteen years. Prior to that, she worked at the Board of Studies NSW as a Senior Curriculum Officer (K-12), responsible for the development of the mathematics syllabuses for NSW schools. As a past President of the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) and a member of the Executive Committee from 2007 to 2010, she provided leadership and ongoing support for teachers of mathematics throughout Australia. This was a critical role at a time of national curriculum development in Australia and the development of national testing regimes.

Robyn Reaburn is a lecturer in mathematics education at the University of Tasmania in Australia, and was joint recipient of a Federal Government award for Teaching Excellence from the Office for Learning and Teaching. Prior to her current role at the University, she taught Mathematics and Science at secondary schools and at TAFE. She has also taught statistics at the University of Tasmania for thirteen years. Robyn's main research interests include students' and instructors' understanding of probability and statistics and the preparation of future mathematics teachers.

Michael Cavanagh is a former secondary mathematics teacher and is currently the Director of Learning and Teaching in the School of Education at Macquarie University. He is an associate professor in mathematics education and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Michael is a recipient of an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning and an Outstanding Professional Service Award from the Professional Teachers' Council of NSW for his work as the editor of Reflections, the journal of the Mathematical Association of NSW.

Linda Galligan is an Associate Professor with the School of Sciences at USQ and Head of School. She teaches courses on Mathematics for Teachers and has strong links with schools providing mathematics programs and activities for students and teachers. Her research includes language and mathematics, and students' and lecturers' perceptions of student preparation for numeracy demands of university. Recently her focus on research has been on student engagement in online learning, the use of Tablet Technology to effectively teach mathematics, and using modelling to improve pre-service teachers' deep understanding of mathematics.
