I have presented many sessions at conferences in my career so far. Some conferences are formal research conferences where papers are submitted for publication and presentation. Other conferences are organised by education systems, publishers or teacher associations.

I am have nominated to present two workshops at the upcoming Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers conference titled Capital Maths in Canberra from 11-13 July this year (2017).

1. Teaching Place Value: Concept development, big ideas and activities. Where I will workshop one of my current projects where I have written a sequence of conceptual statements that I believe students should understand about Place Value

2. Inquiry as a Pedagogy: Less telling, More asking.  In this workshop I will share some examples of inquiry teaching including student work samples and discuss the value of questioning as a maths teaching pedagogy as opposed to lecturing.

I regularly present workshops at the Queensland Association of Mathematics Teachers conferences as well.

Below is a list of some of the conferences I presented between 2005 and 2008 for an example of topics.

2008:

• Refereed paper: Capturing Students’ Thinking About Strategies Used To Solve Mental Computations By Giving Students Access To A Pedagogical Framework at the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) annual conference in Brisbane.

• Workshop: Strategy based computation: A framework presented at the local Qld Association of Mathematics Teachers (QAMT) Annual conference.
• Two workshops: Assessing understanding through investigations for Early Years and Middle Years teacher audiences at several of the regional Groundworks Mathematics conferences organised by Origo Education in Townsville, Newcastle and Brisbane.
• Two workshops: Big Ideas in Space and Big Ideas in Chance and Data at the Cairns Catholic Education teacher conference.
