What are the benefits of joining and participating in a community?
The Connect with Maths project commenced with aspirations that a community of educators could achieve more than an individual on their own to build their capacity to advance teaching and learning of mathematics. This could be achieved together in a user-friendly online environment where there were no barriers of access, time and location.
