Develop improved teaching approaches for Core Maths.

This Work Group is for current teachers of Core Maths to further develop their knowledge and pedagogy for teaching the subject. The Work Group gives teachers opportunities, through collaboration and experimentation to develop improved teaching approaches to support open-ended problem solving skills.

Sessions will probably consist of 6 or 7 online afternoon/twilight sessions (to best suit the group participants) and one or two face-to-face sessions (half-days or full days) at a convenient location.

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

Identify and meet the needs of students continuing L2 study at post-16

This Work Group is for teachers whose students will study Level 2 maths across secondary and post-16. Teachers of Years 10 and 11, and of post-16 GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths, will develop ways to support students who need to study maths beyond age 16 to achieve a L2 qualification.

Work Groups will focus on developing transferable teaching techniques aligned to teaching for mastery. Participants will attend three full-day workshops and complete practice-based tasks between sessions.

Develop improved teaching approaches for A level Mathematics:

This group is for current teachers of A-Level Mathematics to help further develop their knowledge and pedagogy for teaching the subject.

The content of individual Work Groups will be flexible to meet the needs of participants, but will be broadly linked to the Overarching Themes of the A level qualification.

Sessions will consist of two full day face-to-face sessions, and three shorter online sessions which will be spread across the year.

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

This is for teachers of Core Maths in their first or second year of teaching the qualification seeking to deepen their understanding of the content and gain ideas for teaching the course.

We are running our Supporting Girls in Maths and STEM ‘research and innovation’ Work Group again for 2023-24. This ‘research and innovation’ work group is focused on enabling participants to develop an aspect of Teaching for Mastery in their own schools. We will work together to explore approaches that improve outcomes for girls in maths and STEM.
*Please note that this is a cross phase Work Group and is open to all phases. (Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Post-16)

Dates of Workshop Sessions
RIWGs will commence in the Spring Term.
