As a Maths Pedagogical Coach and Teacher, I am committed to building a Thinking Maths classroom where students identify relationships and make connections between numbers, where they are familiar with a range of mental strategies to solve problems, and have diverse ways of representing these strategies. 

Maths foundation skills are critical as a base to work from and to build upon. Hence my focus on Number Partners to 10 and 20 and beyond. 

This page showcases Maths routines I am implementing in primary classrooms (Prep to Year 6). They are informed by the research and thinking of Di Siemon, Margarita Breed, Pam Harris and Kim Montague, Jo Boaler and the many other Maths teachers and researchers I engage with.
