Who can take part?

 

This opportunity is for those who teach and/or have responsibility for the curriculum in Years 5 to 8. Participants may be subject leaders or teachers with responsibility for transition in a school. They attend three full-day workshops and will be expected to try out different tasks with their classes between sessions.

​

What is involved?

 

Work Groups focus on curriculum and pedagogical continuity over Years 5 to 8. Participants will collaborate with colleagues from across KS2 and KS3, working on mathematical tasks together and reflecting on the resulting activity and learning.

​

Sessions will take place in KS2 and KS3 settings, offering the chance to see tasks in the context of a classroom. School-based activity between meetings encourages participants to make use of the resources with their own classes.

 

What will you learn?

 

• Your pupils in KS2 and KS3 will demonstrate a positive attitude to maths

• You will make common use of approaches, representations and language across phases

• You will deepen your knowledge and understanding of the curriculum across KS2 and KS3 and the expectations of pupils at the end of each Key Stage

• You and your cross-phase colleagues will collaborate on issues of curriculum and pedagogy as a normal part of your school's transition practice

​

What is the cost?

 

The Work Groups are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so are free to participating schools.
