FULLY BOOKED - Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics - Early Years Teachers
Develop mathematical subject knowledge and understand the pedagogy that underpins the teaching of it
Who can take part?
These programmes are designed for individuals who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths to three- to five-year-olds. This may be particularly relevant for teachers that have moved phases or have not received maths-specific training.
What is involved?
This programme is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of early maths.
There are two types of SKTM Early Years pathways: Pathway One: Number Patterns and Structures and Pathway Two: Pattern, Shape, Space and Measures. Each pathway is the equivalent of a four-day programme and has three core elements, three associated pedagogy sessions, and a task to support the transition from theory to practice. There is also a final core unit that aims to review quality provision.
What is the cost?
The SKTM Early Years Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
How to Apply?
This Programme is now fully booked for 2023/24.
FULLY BOOKED - Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics (Primary Teaching Assistants)
This project is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of primary maths.
It utilises primary teaching assistant-specific materials and focuses on the following mathematical areas: What is effective in the learning and teaching of mathematics?; Number sense (part 1); Number sense (part 2); Additive reasoning; Multiplicative reasoning; Fractions. The modules are each designed to last three to four hours, but may last longer if delivered online. This programme will take place across the equivalent of four days.
Who can take part?
These programmes are designed for primary teaching assistants who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. This may be particularly relevant for new TAs or TAs that have not received maths-specific training.
What is the cost?
The SKTM Primary Tas Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme and is therefore free to participating schools.
