Members are encouraged to nominate for the Australian Mathematical Society’s Teaching Excellence Awards.
The AustMS annual Award for Teaching Excellence and the annual Award for Teaching Excellence (Early Career) have been established to encourage excellence in mathematics teaching in higher education.
The AustMS Award for Teaching Excellence and Award for Teaching Excellence (Early Career) aim to recognise and reward outstanding contribution to teaching and student learning in the mathematical sciences at the tertiary level.
With these awards the AustMS recognises the importance of quality of mathematics teaching and the impact it has on the training of a future mathematics workforce. Progressive teaching is essential to maintaining high standards across service courses for other disciplines, where high-quality mathematics teaching is of key importance.
Each year a Teaching Excellence Award and a Teaching Excellence Award (Early Career) will be presented at the Annual Meeting, with the prize money for each award set at $1000 per annum. Awardees will be invited to give a presentation on their work at the Annual Meeting and write a short classroom note for the Gazette.
For more details see https://austms.org.au/awards-grants/awards/the-teaching-excellence-awards/ or email Chris Tisdell cct@unsw.edu.au for clarification.
Nominations for these awards will close on 31 August 2022.
CARMA is partnering with MATRIX for the Annual CARMA-MATRIX Maths/Art Poster Competition. As previously, entries are invited in the categories: Art, Outreach and Research. Entry is available at https://carmamaths.org/art/gallery/competition/ and entries close 30th October. Winners will be announced at AustMS2022, in the “Visualisation and Mathematical Art” Special Session. This year for the first time there will also be a physical exhibition of selected invited works at MATRIX House.

Title: Comparative Judgement and Learning through Engagement with Someone Else’s Reasoning
Date & Time: Wednesday 20 July 2022, 2:00pm (AEST)
Abstract: Involving students in mathematical discourse can help them build a deeper conceptual understanding of the mathematics they are learning. One approach is to have students engage with written mathematical arguments and solutions to problems from their peers. Novices do not have the same capacity as experts to judge the work they are reading, but novices do have the capacity to compare two pieces of work and judge which one is better. Comparative judgement can be used as a pedagogical tool to help students learn mathematics. In this talk, I will describe some ways comparative judgement has been implemented in mathematics courses and how we are working to better understand the effects comparative judgement exercises may have on learning mathematics.

This is a full-time position, initially for a 2-year period with the possibility of extension. Flexible working hours will be provided. Work from the comfort of your own home or join us in the office, location is flexible!
As a Graduate, you will:
• use scientific techniques, including data visualisation to analyse, interpret and forecast atmospheric conditions;
• prepare and communicate weather forecasts;
• be closely involved in issuing weather warnings;
• engage deeply with customers to understand their business needs and provide expertise and advice to assist their business decision making;
• collaborate with other specialised professionals with hydrological, climatological and communication expertise.
To see a day in the life of a meteorologist, click on the link to ‘Graduate Stories‘.
People with a diverse mix of skills, life experience and academic achievement in science, engineering or other field with studies in physics and mathematics. You will be available to mobilise your skills to one of the Bureau’s operational locations throughout Australia and be able to work on a rotating shift-work roster. A willingness to be flexible about your working location is a must. Our customers are our focus, so you will need to have the confidence and wisdom to provide specialised support, now and into the future.
