Developing Core Maths Pedagogy Work Group

Develop effective approaches for Core Maths teaching and an understanding of its purpose and value

What is 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.

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 identify and make effective use of existing Core Maths resources
  • You will support your school/college in developing clear ways of communicating and promoting its Core Maths offer

 

Who can apply?

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 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.
