This second edition of Key Ideas for Conceptual Development in Mathematics presents a comprehensive list of key ideas to support the teaching and learning of Mathematics in Catholic schools. It was developed by Learning Consultants, Mathematics, from Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) in consultation with Dr Vince Wright.

The resource aims to assist leaders and teachers of mathematics to plan for and implement key ideas into teaching and learning programs to enrich students’ mathematical experiences and deepen their mathematical understanding.

Key Ideas for Conceptual Development in Mathematics is based on a culmination of research. I commend this guide to you and trust that it will be a valuable resource in your efforts to provide for the educational needs of all your students.
