Sharing our love and passion for maths is a given, but with limited time in the classroom, how do we get students interested in thinking about maths beyond the GCSE syllabus?

In the world of education, the word ‘research’ means two things in parallel. It first entails reading reports and papers resulting from studies big and small from around the world down the years. But secondly, for teachers in schools, it means looking at the evidence in your own and colleagues’ classrooms; watching how local, small-scale experiments play out, and feeding those findings into the overall mix of evidence that influences practice.

Being a head of maths is a challenging job with significant responsibility. But it can also be a satisfying and varied role with the chance to impact positively on a team of teachers and hundreds of students.

In this podcast, a teacher with a growing national profile discusses engagement, curriculum, classroom culture, and preparing students for maths beyond school.

Are you ready for some high quality maths CPD for this academic year?

As we approach the Summer holidays, all here at Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub wish you a very restful break.

Debbie Morgan, NCETM Director for Primary, has been considering the practice of differentiation in the primary maths classroom – specifically the practice of planning for different questioning and supplementary tasks for different groups of children, even where most of the lesson is taught to the whole class. Fresh from speaking at a number of summer conferences in 2022, Debbie explained her developing thinking to us on the podcast.

Have you ever pondered adopting a Teaching for Mastery approach in your secondary school?
