• Develops metacognition in learners enabling them to monitor,direct and communicate their thinking process.
• Incorporates professional learning into the curriculum framework to develop the pedagogical content knowledge of educators to support classroom practises.
• Uses technology to deliver interactive instructional content to facilitate whole-class or group teaching, provide a comprehensive source of flexible supplementary resources and opportunity for student assessment reported against the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics.
