G28 GET IN SHAPE: THE TRANSFORMATION
WORKOUT!
students for. Not sure we are there, yet, but keen to share
our journey of empowering staff, providing support, and
strategically planning the introduction and familiarisation
with this type of task from year nine onwards. We will provide
examples, information on resources used to support and
how we supported staff, including graduate teachers to write,
teach and assess assessment in this style. Blank templates for
population will also be provided as a scaffold for your own/
your team’s journey.
Subtheme: Pedagogy and curriculum
Key takeaways:
Christopher Ireson, Leonard Bedier, Melbourne High
School
(Year 9 to Year 12)
1. Start the process early for teachers and students.
As this session will be a demonstration of my coding and
worked examples, delegates will not require a specific
handheld device.
Mathematical transformations are shape-shifting
superpowers — flipping, sliding, turning, and stretching
figures like geometric gymnastics! They keep the shapes
the same at heart, just with a brand-new look or location.
The TI-Nspire CX CAS Technology will be used to help
to understand the concepts of transformations through
graphical and equation based examples.
2. Provide lots of time for discussion, collaboration and
feedback (for teachers writing tasks).
3. Provide exemplars and practice with lots of feedback for
students.
Remember:
Please bring a collaborative spirit a pen or pencil and a
calculator (any kind).
Key takeaways:
1. Using technology the effects of transformations can be
easily visualised.
G30 AN INTRODUCTION TO
PSEUDOCODING IN VCE
2. Using technology the effects of transformations on the
equation can be easily shown.
Subtheme: Pedagogy and curriculum
3. Using technology a general template can be set up to help
understand transformations.
Remember:
Please bring your computer with the latest version of the
Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CAS Premium Teacher Software
installed or the TI-Nspire CX II CAS Calculator with the
latest OS installed. The Casio ClassPad may be able to be
used in some examples.
G29 PREPARING FOR MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATIONS
Subtheme: Pedagogy and curriculum
Lizzy Barker, Troy Boote, Warrnambool College
(Year 9 to Year 12)
The new mathematical investigation style of SAC in Year
11 Mathematics and Year 12 Foundation Mathematics has
taken some time and thinking to prepare our teachers and
Toan Huynh, Code for Schools
(Year 9 to Year 12)
A gentle introduction to pseudocoding concepts applicable
to VCE Math Methods and Specialist Maths. We’ll take you
from being a complete novice to being able to understand
exam-style pseudocode and write simple algorithms in
pseudocode. Slides, videos, worksheets and a free textbook
will be provided which you can take directly into your classes.
Key takeaways:
1. Being able to understand the pseudocode concepts of
variables, IF statements and loops.
2. Gain confidence and skills to analyse provided pseudocode
and write simple algorithms in pseudocode.
3. Access to free slides, worksheets, videos and a textbook
which you can use and share with students.
Remember:
Google Chrome for coding activities.
