Mathematical Association of NSW Inc

What Mathematical Association of NSW Inc does

The Mathematical Association of NSW Inc (MANSW) is a not-for-profit professional association founded in 1910 that serves mathematics educators across New South Wales, Australia. Headquartered in Silverwater, NSW, MANSW is operated by a six-person paid staff (Executive Officer, two Education Consultants, Finance Officer, Event Manager, and Administration) under a voluntary executive committee. The association is affiliated with the national Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) and serves three primary personas: K-12 mathematics teachers (the primary segment), early childhood teachers, and tertiary educators, with a secondary offering of student enrichment activities.

MANSW's core product set is built around professional learning for mathematics teachers. Offerings include in-person workshops, online self-paced courses, and multi-session long courses covering HSC Mathematics (Advanced, Extension 1, Extension 2) and pedagogical topics such as assessment, explicit teaching, fractions, and non-routine problem solving. The technology backbone is the iMIS membership management platform, which powers event registration, the online shop, and member account access; the website (mansw.nsw.edu.au) also hosts member-only publications PAMphlet (primary) and Fractal (secondary). Adjacent products include the curated MANSW Shop (HSC Solutions books, Large Foam Dice teaching aids), the annual multi-day conference, regional roadshows in non-Sydney NSW centres, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk student excursion. Professional learning content references third-party tools such as Desmos, GeoGebra, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets.

The business model combines recurring membership fees, course and workshop registration fees (tiered across members, non-members, and student members with up to 27% member discounts), one-time shop purchases of HSC resources, conference and roadshow ticket sales, and fees for student excursions. Go-to-market is community-led: members are acquired and retained through the website, the termly newsletters, social media, regional roadshows, and the annual conference. There are no external investors, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue figures; the association is independently operated as a member-focused not-for-profit.

Emerging players

• Education Perfect: Education Perfect is an online learning platform that delivers math and other subject content to schools with teacher dashboard controls. While not a professional association, it competes with MANSW for teacher time and school PD budgets by offering curriculum-aligned digital resources and training.
• Mathletics (3P Learning): Mathletics is a digital math learning platform used in many Australian schools, providing online math activities and teacher resources. It competes indirectly with MANSW's resource and PD offerings by giving teachers ready-made digital tools that may reduce demand for traditional professional learning.

Direct peers

• Mathematical Association of South Australia (MASA): MASA is the South Australian mathematics teachers association, another AAMT-affiliated state body. It offers comparable professional learning, events, and publications to MANSW, serving the same type of K-12 mathematics educator membership in a different Australian state.
• Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT): AAMT is the national peak body for mathematics education in Australia, of which MANSW is a state affiliate. AAMT operates with a similar mission of advancing mathematics teaching through professional learning, resources, and advocacy, and provides a direct structural parallel to MANSW at the national level.
• Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV): MAV is the Victorian state-level professional association for mathematics teachers, offering analogous services to MANSW including professional learning, conferences, journals, and resources. MAV is the closest direct peer in terms of scope, structure, and member offerings, differing only in geographic focus.
• Mathematics Teachers' Association of Queensland (MTAQ): MTAQ is the Queensland state-level mathematics teachers association, providing professional development, resources, and events for math educators in QLD. As a sister AAMT-affiliated state body, MTAQ operates with a directly comparable member-focused mission and product mix to MANSW.

Others

• Science Teachers' Association of NSW (STANSW): STANSW is a subject-specific professional association for science teachers in NSW, operating with a directly analogous membership, events, and professional learning model to MANSW. It is an adjacent peer in the same geographic and structural niche, with parallel offerings for a different subject discipline.
• NSW Teachers Federation: NSW Teachers Federation is the industrial union representing NSW teachers, with membership overlap with MANSW. While focused on industrial and advocacy matters rather than math-specific PD, it represents a parallel professional body touchpoint for the same customer base.

Broad incumbents

• National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM): NCTM is the largest US professional organization for mathematics educators, with a national scope, peer-reviewed journals, and an extensive portfolio of professional learning resources. NCTM is a broader incumbent with comparable mission and offering structure to MANSW, but at much larger scale and international influence.
• Mathematical Association of America (MAA): MAA is a US-based professional association serving mathematics educators, researchers, and students. MAA offers comparable programming, publications, and advocacy to MANSW, though it has a heavier emphasis on higher education mathematics and operates at greater scale and broader scope.
