The above was described by a VCAA apparatchik as a “beautiful poster”. Proving, it seems, that beauty is in the eye of the beholden.

I imagine that the poster will appear in many classrooms. Generally, I am not a great fan of posters, although I admit that I went through a stage of creating posters; they were to be simple, interesting, and replaced monthly; see attached.

No, “beholden” is correct.
What is not correct is the conclusion – It is very surprising that the first and 29th PM had the same birthday. It is not surprising that two PMs have the same birthday.
As for the VCAA poster: Holy crap, Batman! How did the pigeonhole principle end up between all these buzzwords for education scientists?
Good point Anonymous; thanks
The 22nd and 24th presidents of the USA had the same birthday…
…same year, too…
…plus a lot of other things.
It’s the same pseudo-mathematics bullshit that you see on TV shows where you need a blackboard filled with mathematical equations because there’s some boffin either dead or being interviewed.
This poster is nothing more than propaganda for bullshit in mathematics. It ticks all the boxes – colourful, impressive sounding buzzwords, nice looking graphics. I wonder how much money was spent producing it?
It is a declaration of war against authentic mathematics in the classroom.
What a mess. At least in that respect, it might be accurate.
