Developing Core Maths Pedagogy

Who can take part?
Participants should be experienced and developing teachers of Core Maths from schools and colleges in at least their second year of teaching Core Maths. Where appropriate, participants will be expected to work with colleagues in their own department.

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 Core Maths students need to develop, and to share these with departmental colleagues. Work Groups may be face-to-face or online and will include school-based activities between workshops.

The project involves a direct working partnership between the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP).

What will you learn?
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 understand the philosophy of Core Maths
You will support your school/ college in developing clear ways of communicating and promoting its Core Maths offer
