This session will cover the journey of establishing an evidence-based Maths Intervention Program within a government primary school context. Useful for school leaders, teachers, intervention teachers and education support staff, Brydon will share her learnings about what works (and what doesn't!) in setting up data-driven systems of support, all underpinned by the theoretical frameworks of Response to Intervention (RtI), Cognitive Load Theory, Explicit Direct Instruction and Direct Instruction.

Setting up and solving word problems is tricky for many students! In this session, we will review effective word-problem strategies. First, we'll highlight common attack strategies which provide students with a process for approaching word problems. Then, we'll provide examples of common schemas featured in many word problems. These schemas represent the conceptual foundation of a word problem. When students use an attack strategy combined with schemas, this approach can make word-problem solving more accessible for students.

This session by Erin Rollason will unfold the importance of language in numeracy, and how to promote numeracy knowledge and skills for secondary school students with learning difficulties. Areas that will be covered in this presentation are language in everyday numeracy, how to support numeracy language and understanding, at school and at home (i.e. morphology, strategies, executive functioning strategies- visual organisers, and the learning environment).
