About the Event
Location and Dates TBC
This programme supports primary teachers to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, complementing teaching for mastery approaches as exemplified in the NCETM’s Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery.
It will be particularly relevant for individual teachers who have not received maths-specific training.
What are the intended outcomes?
Pupil outcomes
Pupils will:
use appropriate representations to support their mathematical work
be able to explain their maths and their mathematical thinking using appropriate language
positively engage with maths that challenges them.
Practice development
Participants will:
explore and increase their use of a range of pedagogic approaches consistent with teaching for mastery
increase their confidence in planning for progression in maths.
Professional learning
Participants will:
enhance their maths subject knowledge with an emphasis on the key concepts, the representations and the language used to help pupils develop the mathematical area covered (e.g., additive reasoning, multiplicative reasoning, spatial reasoning)
identify common misconceptions and ways of addressing these to help pupils master important concepts
identify pedagogical approaches that will enhance teaching and learning, and know how to plan for these
develop an understanding of key principles and approaches associated with teaching for mastery.
PARTICIPANT INFORMATION
Participants will attend the equivalent of four days, where they will collaboratively work on maths tasks, facilitated by Cohort Leads.
There is opportunity for structured conversations in order to unpick the maths, the pedagogy modelled within sessions, misconceptions that pupils have, and how the approaches can be transferred to the participants’ classrooms.
Between sessions, participants contribute to their online community, complete school-based tasks, and share their observations through discussions with peers.
