Selected reports relevant to mathematics education in Australia
AAMT contributes to and reviews reports that are relevant to mathematics education in schools. In this section, we provide some selected public reports that may be of interest to mathematics educators. The reports are freely available online, but we have consolidated them here for ease of access. We wish to thank the government and other organisations that are responsible for producing them.
