DET TIME
This three-year (2010–12) project, Teaching Indigenous Mathematics Education, was funded by the Queensland Department of Education and Training (DET). The major purpose of this project was to increase schools’ capacity to enhance the mathematics learning outcomes (and thus the employment and life chances) of their Indigenous, Torres Strait Islander, migrant and low SES students.

This three-year (2012–14) project, Sustainable Numeracy Academy Project, has been funded by Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ). The major purpose of this project is to train and support numeracy coaches in Queensland Independent Schools and to provide professional learning experiences for teachers. This project aims to increase schools’ capacity to enhance the mathematics learning outcomes (and thus the employment and life chances) of their students.
YuMi Deadly Maths projects - QLD & NSW
This series of projects delivers the YuMi Deadly Maths program to schools in Queensland and New South Wales, either to individual schools or to regional clusters of schools. The projects are funded by individual schools. These intervention projects aim to trial and refine the YDM program in terms of its effectiveness in improving mathematics teaching and learning, and in relation to characteristics of schools, teachers and students.
In 2012, the YDM program was introduced through projects in five Central Queensland schools, two Brisbane schools, and three schools in the North Coast region. Schools in North and Far North Queensland and in New South Wales will implement YDM projects in 2013.
