Events, Workshops and Programs

Need some one-to-one guidance in your maths, stats or numeracy?

The MESH team runs drop-in maths and stats help sessions during the semester. WSU students from all programs are welcome.

We supports students from many first-year maths subjects as well as from subjects from other disciplines that assume a strong maths background.

This is a drop-in service, you don’t need to book an appointment, just join at any time. Bring your (non-assessment) questions or lecture/tutorial notes and say Hi to the tutor to start.

MESH tutors will be available on the indicated days. Times may change due unforeseen circumstances.

Online via Zoom: Spring week 2 to STUVAC inclusive (except intra-session break in Week 8).

Face-to-face: Spring week 3 to week 14 inclusive (except intra-session break in Week 8).

Do you ever get halfway through a maths or stats related problem in the middle of the night and have a mental block about the next step? Wish you could ask someone about it before you forget where you up to?

Introducing "I Don 't Get It", an online maths and stats help forum. Post your maths or stats related problem (along with some details of where you've gotten with it) as a new Post in the forum and a member of the MESH team or one of your fellow students can help with the next steps. If you feel shy about asking questions, you can post anonymously to other students. To sign up or sign in to I Don't Get It go to this page.

Succeed and enjoy subjects that use maths and stats at WSU:

• Refresh your maths and stats and general numeracy assumed by your subject or course
• Work through the self-paced modules any time via the vUWS Companion Site called Maths Start
• Use this decision tree to design your personal Maths Start programme - the modules you need will depend on your maths background and degree program
• Choose from modules in Algebra, Statistics, Trigonometry and Calculus

LANTITE Preparation Workshops

These workshops are for students preparing to sit the LANTITE numeracy test. There will be several MESH workshops prior to some of the LANTITE test windows each year. Students in Master of Teaching and Bachelor of Education programs will receive an email announcement with workshop details. Other students should contact mesh@westernsydney.edu.au to request workshop details.

Note: All Education students are welcome to attend these LANTITE preparation workshops but should be guided by advice from the School of Education regarding when to register for the LANTITE test.

LANTITE Practice Tests

These Community of Practice (CoP) practice tests aim to provide students who are registered to sit a LANTITE test in the upcoming LANTITE test window with a final practice opportunity. Students in Master of Teaching and Bachelor of Education programs will receive an email announcement with test access details a few weeks prior to each LANTITE test window. Other students should contact mesh@westernsydney.edu.au to request access.

Maths Anxiety is a feeling of tension and anxiety that interferes with your ability to do maths. It can range from a feeling of mild tension all the way to experiencing a strong fear of maths. It is very common.

The good news is that you can do something about it.

The Mathematics Education Support Hub (MESH) and the Western Sydney University Counselling Service will present occasional free workshops to help you reduce your maths anxiety. Details of forthcoming workshops will be posted here.

These workshops are intended for students enrolled in MATH1006 Discrete Mathematics. The workshops will help you to prepare for in-session assessments and final exams. Details of workshops will be posted here during semester.

Look out for announcements about workshops on your Discrete Mathematics vUWS site.

MESH is running an online revision workshop for students enrolled in MATH1014 Mathematics 1A for each class test. The workshops will be structured to give you time to work on a practice test and time for assistance and guidance with solutions. Attendance at each workshop is strongly encouraged as part of your assessment preparation.
