Representation and Structure
•
Fluency
•
Coherence
You will develop a deep understanding how children learn informed by knowledge of theory. You will explore the pedagogical skills of Mastery (inspired by the Shanghai Mathematics Teacher Exchange) including the themes of Coherence, Representation and Structure, Fluency, Variation, and Mathematical thinking and benefit from our links with local Mastery Champions and the “GLOW” Maths Hub. You will also be encouraged to reflect on up-to-date research on the latest mathematics pedagogy, making critical evaluations and considering how it might influence your ongoing practice.
You will explore all areas of the Mathematics National Curriculum including Number, Algebra, Ratio and proportion, Probability and Statistics and Geometry through your own subject knowledge enhancement and alongside the pedagogies that best support learning in each area.
You will explore practical skills relating to behaviour routines, planning, marking as well as resources and tools for teaching with technology, both in the classroom and online.
