In her keynote, Growing Mathematics Learners, Naomi explored the opportunities teachers have to engage their students in the social, messy and rewarding practice of doing mathematics in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand. In particular, she explored the interconnected relationships between students, whānau, teachers and the subject of mathematics, and how this affects learning.

Naomi is a senior lecturer at the University of Otago, College of Education, teaching and researching in primary and secondary mathematics education and curriculum. She is passionate about exploring students’ and teachers’ relationships with mathematics and how these relationships change over their mathematical journeys. In 2018, Naomi was the national recipient of the Teacher Education Forum of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Emerging Teacher Educator award.
