Abstract
Research shows primary teachers report negative dispositions towards teaching mathematics, impacting their confidence and student outcomes. One approach to improve teacher and student enthusiasm is using picturebooks. While research supports the use of picturebooks in mathematics learning, specific guidance for teachers to implement this practice effectively is lacking. Using a methodology of metalogue, we developed a framework to support teachers in providing engaging mathematics activities through aesthetic perceptions. We reflect on the development of the theoretically informed framework and discuss how it might support teachers’ work.

| Other | Welcome! I look forward to seeing you at the 46th annual conference of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA46)! MERGA has a long tradition of gathering together as a colleagues to share and discuss developments in mathematics education research. Whether you are an early career or experienced researcher, a teacher, or anyone interested in research in mathematics education, the MERGA46 conference is the place for you. The theme of the conference, Surfing the Waves of Mathematics Education is of special importance as it reflects the strength of MERGA as a modern organisation committed to living and learning. I am excited for us to see one another again, to welcome newcomers and to shape the future of mathematics education together! |
