Who can take part?
Teachers of Core Maths in Post-16 settings are welcome, whether their main subject is maths or another subject, provided they are in at least their second year of teaching the Core Maths qualification. Where appropriate, participants will be expected to work with colleagues in their own department to share learning.
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 students need to develop, and to share these with departmental colleagues. Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in the Work Group.
Participants will engage with the Maths Hub Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), who are working in partnership to deliver this opportunity.
