📚𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐀𝐏𝐌𝐓)!

We're delighted to see the launch of 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐀𝐏𝐌𝐓), a new national, open-access, peer-reviewed journal focused on mathematics teaching and learning in the early and primary years.

Founded and edited by 𝐃𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨 (𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲), 𝐃𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐝 (𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲), 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐫 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡t (𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲), APMT aims to bridge research and practice by providing a space for teachers, school leaders, teacher educators, pre-service teachers, consultants and researchers to share ideas that make a genuine difference in classrooms.

A strong national journal is vital for our profession. It helps preserve and elevate the expertise of classroom teachers, supports evidence-informed practice, and creates opportunities for dialogue between educators, researchers and system leaders. Most importantly, it ensures that valuable knowledge and innovation remain accessible to those working to improve mathematics learning for all students.

We look forward to watching APMT evolve and become a trusted resource for mathematics educators across Australia.
