Key takeaways:
1. A student- like experience of using rubrics linked to a maths
activity
1. The importance of reasoning in linear algebra rather than
rote memorising procedural steps.
2. Knowledge and confidence to build a simple rubric linked
to your maths program
2. The power of a number line in supporting reasoning in
linear algebra.
3. Examples of maths content rubrics for the full 7-10
curriculum that you can take away as inspiration

REASONING: USING NUMBER LINES IN
LINEAR ALGEBRA
Subtheme: Pedagogy and curriculum
Lorna McClory, Kyle Hayes, Bacchus Marsh College
(Year 5 to Year 10)
This session explores how number lines can support students
in developing reasoning and number sense when solving
linear equations. Often underutilised beyond the early
years, number lines offer a powerful visual tool to promote
conceptual understanding, reduce reliance on procedures,
and deepen mathematical thinking.
Aligned with the MAV25 theme Thriving in Mathematics, this
session highlights how number lines can:
•
Support understanding of inverse operations and
equivalence;
•
Encourage students to reason visually about balance and
structure;
•
Provide opportunities for formative assessment and rich
discussion.
Participants will engage with practical strategies for using
number lines to create high-quality learning experiences
that promote productive challenge and enjoyment in
algebra. By building connections between numerical and
algebraic thinking, number lines can help all students thrive in
mathematics.
In this presentation, we will share the journey and outcomes
of our school-wide initiative designed to transform the
mathematics classroom through a well-balanced, teacherled, AI-enhanced hybrid learning model. Our vision is to
reimagine how students engage with mathematical concepts
by integrating artificial intelligence tools that support
adaptive learning, real-time feedback, and meaningful
differentiation.
The program sits at the intersection of pedagogy, technology,
and innovation. Grounded in best teaching practices and
research-informed strategies, the approach amplifies the
teacher’s role while leveraging AI to meet each learner
where they are. It empowers students to take ownership of
their learning, fosters deep conceptual understanding, and
supports engagement with real-world problem solving.
Attendees will gain insight into our implementation
framework, examples of AI tools used, student outcomes,
and teacher reflections. The session is designed to inspire
and equip educators and leaders to explore AI integration
meaningfully and sustainably in their own contexts.
Key takeaways:
1. Explore a practical framework for designing and
implementing a school-wide hybrid AI-enhanced learning
model.
2. Learn strategies for maintaining a teacher-led approach
while leveraging technology to amplify impact.
3. Discover real-world examples of how the program has
improved student engagement, feedback cycles, and
conceptual understanding.
