Resumen
This paper discusses the initial thematic analysis of practices used in remote classrooms where there are high percentages of Australia’s First People. The case studies from which the data are drawn are from a large project that explores successful teaching of numeracy/mathematics in remote and very remote contexts of Australia. There is considerable diversity in the case studies due to the variety within the contexts and the needs of those contexts. However, there are also similarities emerging across cases. This paper discusses the emerging similarities that are evident in many of the sites. The project uses grounded theory to explore the similarities. There appear to be three levels of practice that need to be taken into account when building a successful numeracy program for Australia’s First People learners.
