As many secondary school teachers say goodbye to their Year 11 students, for a good number it may only be a temporary goodbye if the students have chosen to study Maths beyond GCSE. You may have been left wondering though "how do we support them as they transition to Post 16?"

Have you ever thought about ways in which to draw out mathematical thinking around number calculations? 

Have you got students in your school who are curious about the history of mathematics? Are you considering an activity to share with your students in an enrichment session? 

Maths Hubs serve all state-funded schools in England and are the main provider of fully-funded maths-specific school and professional development nationally. For any school or institution seeking to focus on maths, from Early Years to post-16, there is a Maths Hubs opportunity available. Recruitment is now open for CPD starting from September 2023.

It was announced on 17th April that the Maths Hubs Programme will expand its support for schools and colleges across England.

Ask any adult what children might be learning when they study multiplication in primary school, and they will probably mention times tables.

As a maths department, you probably meet regularly, talk often about your planning, and chat over coffee about how lessons have gone. But are you really collaborating?

Some may argue that because mathematics is the same all over the world, maths can act as a universal language. A phrase or formula has the same meaning, regardless of another language that accompanies it. In this way, math helps people learn and communicate, even if other communication barriers exist.
