## Resource

In this episode of MathsTalk, Leanne interviews Nadia Abdelal, Director of EM Maths Consulting, about her latest blog post that traces two centuries of maths education in Australia. Nadia discusses how Australia's educational reforms were initially influenced by Britain and how certain methodologies, such as the use of concrete manipulatives like Cuisenaire rods, the implementation of entrance and matriculation exams, and open-plan learning spaces, were integrated and evolved over time. The conversation highlights various educational initiatives and the professional development needed for effective teaching. Nadia emphasizes the importance of continuous professional learning and teacher development to improve maths education.
