B12 HARNESSING THE POWER OF AI IN THE
MATHS CLASSROOM
This is a commercial presentation
Subtheme: Innovation and inspiration
Liam Ferris, Tutero
(F to Year 10)
AI is opening new doors for mathematics educators — from
saving time on planning to supporting more responsive,
differentiated teaching. This session explores practical,
classroom-ready ways to use AI to identify student needs,
generate curriculum-aligned content, and engage learners at
the right level. We’ll draw on real examples from Australian
schools to show how AI can reduce teacher workload while
enhancing instructional impact. Rather than replacing
expertise, AI becomes a partner in helping every student —
and every teacher — thrive in mathematics.
Leonie Anstey, The Mathematical Association of Victoria,
David Leigh-Lancaster, Leigh-Lancaster Consulting
(F to Year 10)
Join this workshop to explore the Leading Mathematics
program offered by the Victorian Academy of Teaching and
Leadership, open to all school sectors (government, Catholic
and independent). Learn how it empowers your team to build
knowledge, skills, and leadership in mathematics to benefit
your school community.
Aligned with Victorian Curriculum Mathematics 2.0 and the
Teaching and Learning Model 2.0, the program incorporates
contemporary research and best practices. Discover how your
team can use evidence, observations, and trial improvement
strategies tailored to your school’s context.
Hear about the successes from the 2025 program and
consider how it can support your school community in 2026.
Key takeaways:
1. Strengthen your team’s leadership and mathematics
knowledge to enhance teaching and learning.
2. Use evidence and research to refine and trial goals tailored
to your school context.
3. Develop sustainable, long-term strategies for lasting
improvement in mathematics education.
Key takeaways:
B14 LEADING EVIDENCE-BASED TEACHING
THROUGH NUMERACY MEETINGS
1. Discover how AI can help diagnose learning gaps and
personalise support.
Subtheme: Leadership and agency
2. Explore real use cases of AI-driven lesson planning and
resource generation.
3. Learn how to implement AI in a way that enhances, not
overwhelms, your teaching.
Remember:
No software or devices required. We will demonstrate AI tools
in action, but no downloads are needed to benefit from the
session. All examples will be accessible via browser-based
tools and aligned to Australian curriculum standards. Suitable
for teachers with any level of tech confidence.

Gloria Yi, Milton Bai, St Albans Secondary College
(F to Year 10)
This session showcases how St Albans Secondary College
drives evidence-based teaching through its Numeracy Team
Meetings. These collaborative meetings are designed to
respond promptly to emerging student numeracy needs
by analysing data and developing targeted interventions.
Delegates attending this session will be introduced to the
structure and framework that guide these meetings, including
how student work samples, formative assessments, and trend
data are used to inform decision-making.
