What is MathsBURST?

MathsBURST is a program for primary school children to engage in spatial reasoning activities to improve their mathematics understanding and ability.

Spatial concepts tend to be developed through engagement with our inherently spatial world. The MathsBURST program promotes spatial thinking in two ways: bringing spatial thinking into the learning environment through intentional teaching embedded in the curriculum; and building a spatial habit-of-mind through new ways of thinking spatially about the world.
