Primary
Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics
Primary Teachers
Develop mathematical subject knowledge and understand the pedagogy that underpins the teaching of it.
This programme is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of primary maths.
There are two pathways: Number, and Spatial Reasoning. Each pathway consists of the equivalent of four days, 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 will you learn?
Your pupils will:
-
positively engage with maths that challenges them
-
be able to explain their maths and their mathematical thinking using appropriate language
You will:
-
identify pedagogical approaches that will enhance teaching and learning, and know how to plan for these
-
enhance your maths subject knowledge with an emphasis on the key concepts in each mathematical area covered
Who can take part?
This programme is designed for primary teachers who want to strengthen their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. It is particularly suited to those who have had limited maths-specific training, or whose training was some time ago.
What is the cost?
The SKTM Primary Teachers Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to state-funded participating schools.
