Dr Jake is preparing for his first community talks on how parents/caregivers can support their children develop stronger number sense, K-10, given the stronger focus in the upcoming new NSW syllabus. He will be focusing on practical strategies parents can use to develop number flexibility and reasoning. Dr Jake will emphasise the importance of moving away from an obsession with standard algorithms that can often be a distraction to stronger number sense. These are important concepts all the way through K-10. Reach out if you want Dr Jake to support your local (school) community.

For Dr Jake's PhD thesis, he co-developed and supported implementation of integrated maths and science projects focused on real-world problems in Year 7 across one year. This was compared to another school who taught in a more 'traditional' mode. More favourable changes in motivations & achievement reflected the success of the projects. To read the 400 page thesis 😮 go to the link below 😂 Dr Jake is working on much shorter publications now 🤣
