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 teachers that have moved phases or have not received maths-specific training.

​

What is involved?

This project is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of primary maths.

Participants will attend the equivalent of four days, where they will collaboratively work on maths tasks, facilitated
by Cohort Leads. There is opportunity for structured conversations in order to unpick the maths, the pedagogy
modelled within sessions, misconceptions that pupils have, and how the approaches can be transferred to the
participants’ classrooms. Between sessions, participants contribute to their online community, complete school based tasks, and share their observations through discussions with peers.

​

What will you learn?

• Your pupils will demonstrate a positive attitude towards maths, being willing to have a go, persevere, and share their mathematical ideas

• Your pupils will be able to explain their maths and their mathematical thinking using appropriate language

• You will review your practice as a result of the sessions and make practice-specific adaptations to impact on pupil outcomes

• You will enhance your maths subject knowledge with an emphasis on the key structures in each mathematical area covered

 

What is the cost?

The SKTM Primary Teachers Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
