Our Maths Subject Leader Development Meetings provide an opportunity for subject leaders to come together to:
• Hear the latest news and updates in the world of Primary Mathematics;
• Enhance their leadership skills;
• Explore aspects of pedagogy and
• Network with colleagues to share and develop their practice.
SUMMER TERM MATHS NETWORK MEETING – OVERVIEW:
Our summer term network meeting is another opportunity to meet in person with other maths subject leaders, to share and learn together. The agenda includes an opportunity to: work with others on a response to a classic Ofsted ‘deep dive’ question; consider a school policy for reasoning and collaborate on guidance for teachers in each phase; review the new spatial reasoning toolkit from the Early Childhood Maths Group; and hear about the latest news and updates.
Some resources will be shared electronically in advance so it would be useful to bring these with you to view on a laptop/tablet. Please also bring your school mathematics policy documents and any resources you use for developing pupils’ reasoning skills. Handouts of slides will be provided on the day. We look forward to seeing you there!
