Mathematics is much more than a collection of rules, procedures and calculations. It is a way of thinking, exploring patterns, solving problems and making sense of the world around us, and its learning can be enriched when students are encouraged to engage with mathematical ideas in meaningful ways.
In this special, we explore mathematics and how it is taught and learned, from moving beyond procedures and rules to recognising mathematical thinking in everyday life and the potential of hands-on learning. Together, these stories highlight different approaches to making mathematics more meaningful, engaging and accessible to learners.
