Putting Maths back in its place.
Do you want to engage your Core Maths students in the Real World of Maths?
Do you want to be excited to teach each topic in Core Maths, and have your students be excited too?
Do you want to be part of a community of local like-minded Core Maths teachers?
Then look no further.
Together we can:
- Make sustainable changes in your Core Maths Classrooms
- Create a Work group that provides high quality CPD that you can actually put into practice
We’ll meet several times over the academic year (format and timing to be decided asap) with the aim of forming a genuine community of Core Maths teachers.
We’ll concentrate on improving our pedagogy through contextualised problem solving and links to teaching in other areas.
We’ll share our best resources, make new ones, and discuss best approaches when teaching different themes and topics.
This project involves a direct working partnership between the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP).
What’s involved:
This Work Group aims to explore and develop the links between the Mathematics required in Core Maths to its application in the Real World. Whether this is its application in specific jobs and careers or simply day-to-day life in which people don’t realise they are using Maths. Teachers will develop new approaches to hooking students in and engaging them in real life contexts and problems.
This Work Group is led by Nicola Mitchell.
Who can apply?
The project is for experienced teachers of Core Maths, in at least their second year of teaching the qualification, who are looking to deepen their pedagogical understanding of contextualised problem solving. These may be teachers in post-16 settings whose main subject is maths or whose main subject is not maths.
What is the cost?
The Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme and the AMSP, so is free to participating schools/colleges.
