In this episode we chat with Matt Skoss about making maths playful in the senior years and why this is so important. Matt shares stories about the connections he has made over the many years he has been teaching, mentoring and advocating for inquiry based mathematical teaching and learning. Thank you to Matt for taking some time out to have a chin wag and for playing forward your experiences with us.
