Maximising Sucess in Mathematics for Disadvantaged Students

本项目旨在确定教师可以使用的策略，以克服一些学校学生在学习数学方面的明显劣势。目前，澳大利亚学校的工人阶级和土著学生在数学方面的表现比同龄人差得多。目前推荐的一些教学策略实际上可能会加剧这种劣势。该项目将确定导致这些学生缺乏成功的因素，并提供教师可以使用的策略，以确保来自弱势背景的学生有同样的机会学习数学作为其他学生。

This project aims to identify strategies that teachers can use to overcome the obvious disadvantage some school students experience in learning mathematics. Currently working class and Indigenous students in Australian schools are performing very much worse than their peers in mathematics. Some currently recommended teaching strategies may be actually exacerbating this disadvantage. This project will identify the factors contributing to the lack of success of these students, and offer strategies that teachers can use to ensure that students from disadvantaged backgrounds have the same opportunities to learn mathematics as other students.
