Developing Core Maths Pedagogy
Who can take part?
Teachers of Core Maths in post-16 settings are welcome, whether their main subject is maths or another subject, provided they are in at least their second year of teaching the Core Maths qualification. Where appropriate, participants will be expected to work with colleagues in their own department to share their learning.
What's Involved?
These Work Groups give teachers opportunities, through collaboration and experimentation, to develop improved teaching approaches that support the open-ended problem-solving skills students need and to share these with departmental colleagues. Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in the Work Group.
Participants will engage with the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), who are working in partnership to deliver this opportunity.
What is the cost?
The Work Groups, run by the Maths Hubs Programme, in partnership with the AMSP, are free to participating schools and colleges.
What will you learn?
- Your students will have raised awareness of the use of maths and statistics in everyday life
- You will teach mathematical concepts and processes effectively through contextualised problem-solving
- You will understand the philosophy of Core Maths
- You will support your school/ college in developing clear ways of communicating and promoting its Core Maths offer.
