The APMC publishes papers about the teaching and learning of mathematics applicable to early years (pre-F) and primary school students (Years F–6/7).
The AMEJ includes two sections. Section 1 is suitable for an audience of upper-primary and middle-school teachers and Section 2 is directed toward mathematics educators of senior high school and tertiary levels.
