In collaboration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance  (ATSIMA), we invite you to part 2 of our two-part webinar series in collaboration with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance! 'First Nations Australian navigation & mapping in the Australian curriculum: Mathematics for 7-10 educators.

This webinar supports educators to showcase the deep time histories, cultures, & knowledges of First Nations Australians, specifically focusing on navigation & mapping. Through this rich context, teachers can engage with maths, offering students valuable learning experiences that align with the key concept of Country/Place in the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Histories & Cultures cross-curriculum priority in the Australian Curriculum: Maths. Traditional knowledges & practices will be showcased & intersected with contemporary practices & technologies, bringing together the incredible cultural knowledges & understandings of First Nations peoples with western science. 

Participants will be able to access supporting materials such as Teacher Background Information that provides detailed information covered in the webinar.
