Presenter:
Morris Needleman In 2012 we will see the most radical changes to the HSC mathematics examinations in 30 years. All of this is to happen before the National Curriculum sees the light of day.
This course will fully prepare teachers for the changes. We will workshop the writing of original assessment task questions, ensuring we meet the new guidelines.
Teachers will leave with resources to meet the challenge of the new HSC in Extension 2 mathematics.

          | I would like to learn more. "how to balance between skill & technique, reasoning & communication in the exam/ tasks". |
          | It would be good to have more time to work as groups and see the different views of others when writing papers with Morris. |
          | Very enjoyable and informative. The 'no sugar coating' approach was great. Straight to the point. |
          | Good resources to be able to sit and brainstorm some MC questions with other teachers, very practical. |
