Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics – Primary Teachers (Pathway 1)
Subheading – Develop mathematical specialist knowledge and understand the pedagogies that underpin the teaching of ‘number’ in mathematics
Aims:
This project is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of primary maths.
Pupils will positively engage with maths that challenges them
Pupils will be able to explain their maths and their mathematical thinking using appropriate language
Participants will identify pedagogical approaches that will enhance teaching and learning of the number pathway, and know how to plan for these
Participants will enhance their maths subject knowledge with an emphasis on the key concepts in each mathematical area covered – number sense, additive reasoning, multiplicative reasoning, and understanding the teaching of fractions
Who can take part?
These programmes are designed for primary teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. This may be particularly relevant for new maths leads, teachers that have moved phases or have not received maths-specific training.
What is involved?
Each pathway consists of four days face-to-face PD, spread out over a minimum of two terms. Professional learning and practice development continue throughout, with participants implementing new ideas into their daily practice.
What is the cost?
The SKTM Primary Teachers Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
