There has been much debate over many years in the Australian Federal Parliament on the implementation of a national curriculum in mathematics. In 2004, the Government, under the direction of the then Minister for Education Brendon Nelson, initiated a national mathematics program for students in lower secondary high schools and primary schools. The Australian International Centre for Excellence was commissioned to implement a pilot program and called for expressions of interest to participate from high schools across the nation.

Anxious students are less prone to use their target language and feel less motivated in their language studies, both of which have a negative effect on their learning.

Abstract:
This thesis reports an investigation of individual differences in children's learning of a concept in mathematics, involving rates of change on linear graphs. Evidence in the literature suggests both that high levels of strategy variability are associated with conceptual change in mathematics and that there are individual differences in strategy variability. Therefore it is argued that differences in strategy variability can offer useful insight into children's learning of mathematics.
