Pep is a lecturer and team leader in mathematics education at the University of New England. She has taught at primary, secondary (including pre-tertiary mathematics) and tertiary levels of education. Her studies and research projects have included both primary and secondary foci and she has led professional development with teachers at all system levels. Pep’s particular interests are the development of geometry concepts and the use of technology such as dynamic geometry software as teaching tools in the mathematics classroom. She is currently engaged in a curriculum development project in Nauru.

Shelley is a senior lecturer in mathematics education at The University of Queensland. She teaches in the Bachelor of Education (Primary and Middle Years of Schooling) programs. Shelley is an experienced classroom teacher having taught in primary and secondary schools in Victoria, Northern Territory, and Queensland. Shelley has also been a tertiary educator in universities in Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria. Shelley’s current research focus is on the importance of proportional reasoning as a foundation for numeracy. She is leading a major national project on promoting proportional reasoning across the curriculum with teachers of students in the middle year of schooling. She is also working with colleagues from The University of Queensland on teaching mathematics through inquiry. Other research interests include students’ mathematical learning difficulties, misconceptions and conceptual change; assessment in mathematics; mental computation; and multiplicative thinking within the study of rational number. Her passion in teaching is on rich learning experiences to foster students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics and hence to encourage success and enjoyment of mathematics in school.
