Goos was president of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, past vice-president of the Queensland Association of Mathematics Teachers, and past chair of the Queensland Studies Authority's Mathematics Syllabus Advisory Committee.[5]

In 2004 she won an Office for Learning and Teaching teaching award for her work as a mathematics teacher educator, and in 2006 was awarded national fellowships to investigate assessment leadership in higher education institutions.[6]

gollark: The UK A-level maths textbooks have something like 80 pages on calculus. It's very* rigorous**.

gollark: I did triangle grids once. Never again.

gollark: I didn't, this is a separate true* thing.

gollark: Weirdly, these are all real numbers.

gollark: Observe:x = i^iln x = i ln ie^i(π * (2n + 0.5)) = i forall natural Nln i = i(π * (2n + 0.5))ln x = i i(π * (2n + 0.5))ln x = -1(π * (2n + 0.5))x = e^(-1(π * (2n + 0.5)))
