About
The FYiMaths network was established as part of a project funded by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching from 2012-2014 to provide support and information for academics teaching in first year mathematics in undergraduate degree programs in Australian universities. FYiMaths has now expanded to include academics and educators teaching in undergraduate mathematics, mathematics support, and secondary mathematics teachers in Australia and New Zealand.
The network operates as a community of practice providing an informal and supportive group for academics and educators to access information, exchange ideas, address shared challenges, and collaborate on research and policy questions.

We are pleased to announce that the theme of this year's FYiM workshop to be held in Brisbane is
Celebrating 10 years of First Year in Maths!
Our first forum was in 2013 at The University of Melbourne. Let's look back on 10 years of talking about teaching maths and statistics at the first-year level. What is still relevant? What has changed? What new challenges lie ahead?
Here is the programme.
Details of the workshop are:
When: Thursday 6 July and Friday 7 July - 10 am to 5 pm
Where: The University of Queensland, St Lucia campus and via Zoom
Cost: FREE! Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided thanks to UQ's School of Maths and Physics. You are welcome to join us for dinner (at own cost) on Thursday night at a local/CBD restaurant.
We look forward to seeing you in sunny Brisbane!
