Who can take part?
This Work Group is for institutions in which Core Maths is established, and will involve teachers of Core Maths in at least their second year of teaching the qualification, who are looking to deepen their pedagogical understanding of contextualised problem solving. These may be teachers in post-16 settings whose main subject is maths or whose main subject is not maths. Participants will be expected, where appropriate, to work with colleagues in their own department.
What is involved?
The sessions will be held online and run by the North Mids Maths Hub. The first session will be the 15th January . Participants’ institutions must commit to releasing them to attend all Work Group sessions and allowing them to develop their practice in their classroom and share this with departmental colleagues
