Developing Core Maths Pedagogy Work Group

These Work Groups give teachers opportunities, through collaboration and experimentation, to develop improved teaching approaches that support the open-ended problem-solving skills Core Maths students need to develop, and to share these with departmental colleagues. 

The project involves a direct working partnership between the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) 

 

What is involved?

The theme of the Work Group will be "Bringing data alive through linking to the real world". By looking at the news, looking at images and looking at graphs this Work Group aims to bring the real world into core maths lessons.

 

Participants will, through the theme of the Work Group:

  • share approaches to the planning and delivery of the Core Maths curriculum
  • apply related pedagogical approaches in their Core Maths teaching
  • teach mathematical concepts and processes effectively through contextualised problem-solving
  • identify and make effective use of existing Core Maths resources.

 

Benefits

  • 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

 

Who can apply?

Participants should be experienced and developing teachers of Core Maths from schools and colleges in at least their second year of teaching Core Maths. Where appropriate, participants will be expected to work with colleagues in their own department.

 

What is the Cost?

The Developing Core Maths Pedagogy project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme and the AMSP so is free to participating schools/colleges.
