The Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) invites AREEA members to a roundtable lunch “Mathematics Skills for the Future” hosted by Dr Alan Finkel (Chief Scientist of Australia) and Dr Cathy Foley (Chief Scientist of CSIRO).

The lunch will be held at Somerville House, South Brisbane, on July 11 at 12 noon as part of the AAMT national mathematics education conference.

The purpose of the lunch is to discuss numeracy and mathematics in the workplace, the mathematics skills employers expect of graduates, how these skills may change in the future, and how mathematics and STEM education in schools should develop to meet these demands.

AAMT will propose some strategies for strengthening industry and education partnerships in mathematics and STEM education, including the establishment of a forum in which experts from a range of economic sectors can contribute to the development of mathematics education. The ideas generated from the discussions will be used to produce a roadmap for the development of mathematics education in Australia.

If your organisation would like to help shape mathematics education and the skills of graduates in the future, AAMT welcomes your participation in this event.

Cost is $140 (plus GST) including lunch, attendance at a keynote presentation by Dr Alan Finkel and participation in a panel discussion with leading representatives from industry and education.

For further information and to RSVP, contact Kimberly Almarza ([email protected])
