This Element engages Shakespeare's greatest thought-experiment: how does one navigate the 'theatre of the world'? Throughout, it examines how Shakespeare challenges this metaphor's vertical hierarchies in response to changing understandings of cosmological order. Teachers will find rich contextual frameworks to help students investigate how Shakespeare recognises 'worlds' as emerging from dynamic variables, raising urgent questions about how identity and justice are environmentally constructed. Each discussion features student-centred 'Explorations', which are play-specific classroom activities, but also may be applied across Shakespeare's corpus and adapted for either secondary or university-level students. These exercises encourage students to practise non-linear critical and creative thinking, to contemplate big ideas and to generate new perspectives about the shared points of contact between Shakespeare's world and theirs.
The Australian Curriculum: Mathematics v. 9.0 (ACARA 2022) is structured around six content strands: Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability. An expectation of mathematical proficiency has been embedded into curriculum content across all strands. It is expected that students will develop and apply mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning and problem-solving as they learn mathematical content. It is these areas that typically receive the most attention in mathematics classrooms, particularly as there are requirements to assess and report on students’ progress in these strands. The Australian Curriculum v. 9.0 also identifies seven general capabilities, which encompass knowledge, skills, behaviours, and dispositions, and three cross-curriculum priorities: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia, and Sustainability. However, Atweh, Miller and Thornton (2012) contend that these areas receive minimal reference in the content descriptions and elaborations, leading to the impression that they are only given lip service. This chapter will provide an overview of the general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities, and will also identify ways in which these aspects of the curriculum can be enacted into authentic mathematical experiences for students.
