Abstract

In 2008, the Australian Government, in common with many other countries, ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability (CRPD) and has since voiced its commitment to inclusive education in key documents and policies. While achieving genuine inclusive education is a pressing moral, political and humanitarian imperative, internationally, there is little published research with respect to the question of how to realise inclusive mathematics educations in schools. In the meantime, teachers at all levels struggle to meet the challenge of providing a high-quality inclusive mathematics education that enables all students to thrive.
