Our first webinar of 2026 is here! Teaching Number Composition in the Early Years.
Often referred to as trusting the count, number composition is one of the most important understandings we can build in the early years—it underpins everything students go on to do in mathematics.
In this webinar, we’ll look at how students develop this understanding through subitising and partitioning, and how this fits within the instructional hierarchy.
We’ll work through the full journey together—what this looks like in planning, how it plays out in the classroom, and how to assess whether students are actually developing secure understanding. This includes looking closely at examples and non-examples, as well as practical, ready-to-use tasks.
The focus is on making this work clear, manageable and immediately applicable, so you can support students to move beyond counting and genuinely trust the count.
To be held online on Tuesday 12th May from 6:30-8:00pm AEST.
Can't make it on the day? All participants receive access to the recording for 1 month.
Melbourne Mathematics Conference | The Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV) in collaboration with The University of Melbourne: Faculty of Education present a conference focusing on, Elevating Mathematics Education through Connecting Thoery and Practice.
The conference theme, Elevating Mathematics Education through Connecting Theory and Practice, brings together educators, researchers, mathematicians, and industry professionals to align theoretical insights with practical classroom applications. Through keynotes, interactive workshops, and collaborative sessions, participants will explore how evidence-informed research can shape effective teaching, foster deep mathematical understanding, and respond to real-world challenges. This event supports continual professional learning, innovation, and connection across the mathematics education community.
Venue: In person at The University of Melbourne
Time: 9am to 3.30pm each day followed by happy hour.
Program: Coming Soon
