Developing Core Maths Pedagogy
The programme involves a partnership between the Yorkshire Ridings Maths Hub and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP). Teachers across the whole of Yorkshire are welcome to join this blended programme.
Who can take part?
This workgroup is for anyone who currently teaches Core Maths and wishes to develop their practice. Teachers who will be teaching Core Maths in future years are also welcome.
What is involved?
The programme will 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 they share these with departmental colleagues.
Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in the Work Group.
The project involves a direct working partnership between the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP).
