We believe that professional learning should leave you inspired. Not tired.
That’s why we bring primary and secondary teachers together in a welcoming and thought-provoking virtual environment.
At our online Workshops, you will step into the shoes of students to explore fun and fascinating maths problems. You’ll also connect with like-minded teachers and share ideas for the classroom.
We’re details oriented. We want every Workshop we run to be an incredible experience so that you will get excited again about teaching maths.
We make time for you to actually do and experience mathematical problem solving. The problems we look at can be puzzles or games, about fascinating mathematical principles or real-world applications.
We bring together people of all mathematical backgrounds, capabilities and confidence. Presenters use interesting and widely accessible problems. Presenters choose tasks that:
During an online Workshop, time is spent exploring maths problems together. Time is also allocated for thinking about how to adapt and run each task with students. For example:

Our intention is that Workshops will be enjoyable for everyone who attends (yes, even online!).
We want you to join us because you’re curious about maths and teaching. Opt-in attendance means you have the choice over how you are spending your time learning.

Maths Teacher Circles are a celebrated model of professional development that was launched in Australia in 2020.
Over 1,000 teachers, academics and other maths enthusiasts from across Australia and overseas have now come together to enjoy maths and to learn from one another.
First formed in Russia and Bulgaria in the 1900s, they were designed as a form of collaborative and non-competitive mathematical enrichment for students.
Today, Maths Teacher Circles continues this tradition by bringing K-12 teachers together in an interactive online space to explore great maths problems and share ideas about teaching.
