Dr. Ann Downton is a lecturer in mathematics education at the School of Education.
She has extensive part-time experience as a primary school teacher
Experts in mathematics and science and consultants in mathematics.
Prior to her appointment as Monash University in 2016, she worked as a lecturer in mathematics education at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne campus.
As part of her research center for mathematics teaching (MTLRC)
At the ACU, she coordinated the project of teaching contemporary mathematics (CTLM)
Including 2008-2012.
The purpose of the research project is to improve the knowledge of teachers' teaching content and students' learning.
Supporting arithmetic leaders and developing their skills and expertise as leaders is a key part of school-based professional learning.
Ann's doctoral thesis, the development of multiplication thinking for young children: Transition to symbols when learning multiplication and division, was completed in 2013.
This study investigated the strategies of students to solve multiplication problems and the impact of classroom intervention programs on students' transition from additive thinking to multiplication thinking.
This study reflects her main research interest: how young children build their knowledge of mathematics and how to teach mathematics early in school.
Her current study is entitled "knowledge and practice of teachers developing students' multiplication thinking in the third and fourth years ".
This is a pilot project of cooperation between Monash (Clayton Campus)
Parramatta Catholic education Parish (CEDP)
Within the scope of professional learning support provided to the school.
Her other research project, called "assessment of systematic mathematics learning and teaching methods in Broken Bay parish schools", investigated to what extent this method enhances teachers' practice and improves students'
Ann is a proud member of the early arithmetic research project team of the Australian Mathematics Education Research Group (MERGA)
July 2011 research award for "recognition of outstanding contributions to mathematics education research for a long time (1999-2011).
Children's Mathematics planning, task selection, diversity of satisfaction and promulgation in classroom teacher teaching practice for learning multiplication thinking and proportional reasoning (
In particular, teachers' questions lead to students' mathematical thinking and mathematical demonstration)

In today’s fast-evolving education and corporate environments, traditional lecterns are no longer enough. Schools, universities, and training centers are upgrading to smart digital podiums to create more engaging, efficient, and technology-driven learning spaces.
A Smart Digital Podium is more than just a lectern — it is an all-in-one interactive teaching solution that integrates display, control system, audio, connectivity, and multimedia management into one streamlined platform.
As education and corporate environments continue to evolve, the demand for smarter, more flexible display solutions is growing rapidly. Traditional blackboards and whiteboards still play an important role in teaching and meetings, but they no longer fully meet the needs of modern classrooms and collaborative spaces. This is where the Interactive Blackboard comes in — a next-generation solution that seamlessly integrates interactive flat panel technology with traditional writing boards, creating a powerful and intuitive experience for users.
Designed for flexibility, customization, and real-world usage, the interactive blackboard bridges the gap between conventional teaching habits and advanced digital tools.
As outdoor spaces become extensions of commercial and public environments, the demand for reliable, high-performance outdoor displays is growing rapidly. From outdoor advertising and sports venues to hospitality, transportation hubs, and smart cities, Outdoor IP66 TVs are redefining how content is delivered beyond traditional indoor settings.
Unlike standard indoor televisions, outdoor IP66 TVs are purpose-built to withstand harsh environments while delivering exceptional visual performance. They are not simply “TVs placed outside” — they are engineered solutions designed for durability, visibility, and long-term operation.
ITA TOUCH operates a 20,000+ sqm smart manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, equipped with dedicated production lines for interactive displays and digital signage.
We welcome factory visits, online inspections, and OEM audits.
