- Use effective teaching methods to support pupils in understanding maths.
- Identify common misconceptions and learn ways to address them.
Pupils will:
- Be able to use appropriate representations to support their mathematical work.
- Positively engage with maths that challenges them.
- Be able to explain their maths and their mathematical thinking using appropriate language.
What is involved?
Participants will:
- Take part in a one-year programme aligned with the ECT ‘Expertise in Teaching Maths’ modules.
