Research statement

Taxation and superannuation contributions help all Australians by paying for essential services such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, transport, and community services, as well as personal living costs upon retirement from the workforce. This article argues the importance of teaching students about the philosophical and mathematical underpinnings of Australia’s taxation and superannuation systems and encourages schools and teachers to consider ways to do this as they develop students’ ability to reason proportionally in Years 7-10.
