A collection of communications initiatives will promote the relevance and lifelong benefits of mathematics for students. A key aim is to help parents and carers to support their children’s mathematics education. A new digital experience for parents and carers will feature online resources for children from Kindergarten to Year 10. The department is also identifying mathematics ambassadors across a range of professions who will highlight the uses of mathematics for everyone, in everyday life and work.

Students will experience increased engagement with mathematics and a deepened understanding of its relevance in school and beyond as a problem-solving skill for life.

This initiative contributes to More positive attitudes to mathematics through the specific outcomes:

• Students, teachers, parents and carers, and social influencers have more positive attitudes towards mathematics.
• Parents and carers feel more confident to support students in learning mathematics.
• Parents and carers access high-quality resources that support effective student learning of mathematics.
