Next step
Use the WHAT, SO WHAT, NOW WHAT sheet to
audit and form an action plan to share with your
school
• WHAT: write down aspects of mathematics that
are new to you using the Australian Curriculum:
Mathematics
• SO WHAT: decide how these aspects have
implications on your teaching; what do I need to
investigate further, professional learning or seeking
help from others
•NOW WHAT: Decide on the actions you may take
next to meet your needs; prioritise your actions
