Strengthening mathematics teaching and learning.
Research-informed mathematics consultancy and professional learning for primary and secondary schools.
Working alongside school leaders and teachers to develop mathematical understanding, strengthen pedagogical practice and build coherent, effective mathematics programs.
Every school has its own mathematical story.
No two schools are the same. Each has its own students, teaching team, curriculum priorities and opportunities for improvement.
Effective professional learning begins by understanding that context. It considers what teachers already know, how mathematics is currently taught and where additional support could make the greatest difference.
Maths Club provides personalised mathematics education consultancy informed by research, classroom experience and an understanding of how students develop mathematical concepts.
Rather than delivering a predetermined program, consultancy is designed around your school’s needs, with an emphasis on practical approaches that teachers can apply in their classrooms.
Professional learning grounded in classroom practice.
Meaningful professional learning is more than attending a workshop. It creates opportunities for teachers to examine mathematical ideas, discuss student thinking and consider how their teaching decisions influence learning.
My approach is collaborative and practical. By working alongside teachers, we can explore the mathematics behind the curriculum, identify common misconceptions and design learning experiences that support deeper conceptual understanding.
The aim is to strengthen teachers’ confidence, mathematical knowledge and pedagogical practice in ways that can be sustained beyond a single session.
Consultancy shaped around your priorities.
Support can focus on a specific area of mathematics teaching or bring together several priorities as part of a broader professional learning plan.
Curriculum Planning & Sequencing
Developing coherent mathematics programs that build conceptual understanding over time. Support may include curriculum mapping, learning progressions, unit planning and identifying the important connections between mathematical concepts.
Mathematical Misconceptions & Conceptual Understanding
Exploring how students develop mathematical ideas, why common misconceptions arise and how teaching can respond effectively. Particular attention can be given to foundational concepts, including number, fractions, proportional reasoning and algebraic thinking.
Pedagogy & Mathematical Reasoning
Strengthening teaching approaches that promote reasoning, problem-solving and mathematical discussion. This may include explicit teaching, representations, rich mathematical tasks, questioning and purposeful differentiation.
Assessment & Student Thinking
Using assessment to understand what students know, how they are thinking and where misconceptions or gaps may exist. Support can include diagnostic assessment, formative assessment, analysing student work and planning responsive teaching.
Teacher Professional Learning
Designing and facilitating professional learning that strengthens teachers’ mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical practice. Sessions can be tailored for whole-school teams, year-level groups, mathematics faculties or curriculum leaders.
Secondary Mathematics & VCE
Supporting secondary mathematics teams with curriculum planning, mathematical content, assessment design and effective teaching approaches. Consultancy can also address VCE mathematics curriculum and assessment priorities.
Professional learning that works for your school.
Consultancy can take different forms depending on your school’s goals, staff needs and available time.
You may be looking for a focused professional learning session, support with a particular curriculum challenge or a more sustained approach to improving mathematics teaching.
We can discuss the most appropriate format and develop a proposal that reflects your priorities.
Whole-staff professional learning
Tailored workshops, curriculum days and professional learning sessions for teaching teams.
Mathematics team support
Working with year-level teams, professional learning communities or secondary mathematics faculties on shared teaching priorities.
Curriculum planning sessions
Collaborative planning to strengthen curriculum sequencing, assessment and connections between mathematical concepts.
Ongoing consultancy
A series of sessions designed to support implementation, reflection and continued professional growth over time.
A collaborative approach to meaningful improvement.
The process is flexible, but every engagement begins with understanding your school’s context and identifying what you want to achieve.
Understand
We begin with a conversation about your school’s mathematics program, current challenges, strengths and professional learning priorities.
Design
Together, we identify clear goals and develop a tailored approach that considers your teachers, students and school context.
Work Together
Professional learning and consultancy are delivered through practical, collaborative experiences grounded in mathematical understanding and classroom practice.
Reflect
We consider what has been learned, what is working and what further support may be valuable as your school continues developing its mathematics program.
Experience in classrooms, curriculum and mathematics education.
Danijela Draskovic is an experienced secondary Mathematics and Physics teacher, mathematics educator and program designer.
She has taught in Australia and the United Kingdom and has spent almost a decade in mathematics education management, professional learning and curriculum development.
Her experience includes leading statewide mathematics education initiatives, designing professional learning programs and supporting teachers across primary and secondary settings.
Danijela brings together a strong understanding of mathematical content, the development of student thinking and the practical realities of teaching mathematics in schools.
She is particularly interested in how mathematical misconceptions develop, how important concepts connect and how teachers can build deeper understanding through purposeful instruction.
More About DanijelaPlanning professional learning for your school?
Do you work with both primary and secondary schools?
Yes. Consultancy is available to primary and secondary schools, with content and delivery tailored to the relevant curriculum, year levels and teaching team.
Can professional learning be tailored to our school?
Absolutely. Consultancy begins with a discussion about your school’s context and priorities. Sessions are then designed around the mathematical content and teaching practices most relevant to your team.
Can we book a single session?
Yes. Schools can enquire about a focused professional learning session or discuss a longer-term consultancy arrangement.
How much does consultancy cost?
Fees depend on the scope of the engagement, preparation required, delivery format and location. Please get in touch to discuss your needs and request a tailored proposal.
How do we get started?
Send an enquiry outlining your school’s year levels, current priorities and the type of support you’re seeking. We can then arrange an initial discussion to explore suitable options.
Let’s strengthen mathematics teaching and learning at your school.
Whether you have a clearly identified professional learning priority or are exploring where to begin, I’d welcome a conversation about your school’s needs.
