What is involved?

This workgroup will explore Core Maths pedagogy, using the principles of Teaching for Mastery (TfM) to facilitate learners of all attainments. 

It is not uncommon for a core maths class to be of mixed ability; therefore, we will be spending time delving deeper into how the principles and Big Ideas of TfM aid in the journey of teaching Core Maths, to support all learners. We will focus on various areas within the core maths curriculum, including personal finance, estimation, statistical techniques, critical analysis, and data analysis. We will also invite participants to collaborate in creating and/or modifying resources.

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

Who can take part?

Participants should be experienced teachers of Core Maths from schools and colleges in at least their second year of teaching Core Maths class during the academic year 2024/25. 

Benefits
  • Your students will gain raised awareness of the use of maths and statistics in everyday life
  • You will plan lessons/sequences of lessons to promote student understanding, confidence and progress
  • You will understand the philosophy of Core Maths, with its approach to maths through contextualised problem-solving
  • You will support your school/college in developing clear ways of communicating and promoting its Core Maths offer

The Work Groups are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so  are free to participating schools.
