This is for teaching assistants who work predominantly with students in the KS3 maths classroom or who lead intervention sessions with groups of students. The core materials incorporate tasks from a variety of sources that demonstrate progression from KS1 to KS3 in key number concepts.
What are the intended outcomes?
Student outcomes
Students will:
demonstrate a positive attitude towards the learning of maths
think, reason and discuss their maths in order to deepen their understanding.
Practice development
Participants will:
review their practice as a result of the sessions and make specific adaptations to support the students they are working with
use appropriate mathematical language and representations with confidence.
Professional learning
Participants will:
enhance their maths specialist knowledge with a particular focus on mathematical structures and representations in each of the following topic areas:
Addition and subtraction (extending to negative numbers)
Multiplication and division (extending to negative numbers)
Fractions – Ratio and proportion
work towards developing their understanding of how to suitably adapt resources to meet the needs of their students
develop an understanding of how algebra relates to the generalisation of number.
PARTICIPANT INFORMATION
The programme will be run over the equivalent of four days and participants must commit to attending all sessions.
Participants will develop their specialist knowledge with a focus on using precise mathematical language, representations and reasoning within each of the topics: addition and subtraction; multiplication and division; fractions; and ratio and proportion.
In addition to attendance at these sessions, participants will be asked to carry out school-based tasks to enable them to develop their practice in the classroom
