What are the challenges to teaching numeracy?
Do you sometimes struggle finding different ways to teach numeracy?
This session guides participants discussing their approaches to numeracy teaching. We will explore ways of teaching numeracy with relevant, fun, engaging, and transformative strategies.
It is an interactive session with opportunities for small group discussions about the particular contexts and issues you face. Join numeracy experts Dave Tout and Chris Tully who will provide guidance and feedback to build confidence and strengthen your numeracy teaching practice.
Nurturing your Numeracy practice

Date: Thursday, 24th March, 5-6pm

As we march into March, a quick update on VALBEC’s activities so far this year.
Firstly, numeracy practice is in our sights in 2022. VALBEC is providing opportunities for practitioners to come together for guided conversations with peers about the challenges and successes they’re finding in their language, literacy AND numeracy classrooms, which will support Adult Learning Australia’s Numeracy series. Details above for the first VALBEC 5pm twilight PL session, Thursday 24th of March.
In mid-2022, if you’re in Melbourne on the 20th of May, Reconnect with colleagues at our face-to-face mini-conference at Angliss Conference Centre. VALBEC’s 2022 conference will also combine a hybrid (virtual and f2f) Annual General Meeting. We welcome nominations for new members on the VALBEC organising committee.

In addition to the conference, and to reach more practitioners throughout the year, VALBEC will present 8 online professional learning sessions in 2022, covering a range of numeracy, literacy and language topics.
