Who can take part?

This programme is designed for teachers who would like to further develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. It will be particularly relevant for teachers that have moved phases or teachers that have not received maths-specific training.

What is involved?

The programme is based on four modules:

• Module 1: What is Spatial Reasoning? Why is Spatial Reasoning important?

• Module 2: Spatial and geometric reasoning; reasoning about shape; composing and decomposing

• Module 3: Spatial and geometric reasoning; shape transformations; navigation and maps

• Module 4: Spatial reasoning in other areas of the maths curriculum

What will you learn?

Participants will:

• Enhance their Maths subject knowledge with an emphasis on the key concepts, the representations and the language used to help pupils develop the mathematical area covered (spatial reasoning).

• Identify common misconceptions and ways of addressing these to help pupils master important concepts.

• Identify pedagogical approaches that will enhance teaching and learning, and know how to plan for these.

• Develop an understanding of key principles and approaches associated with teaching for mastery.

What is the cost?

The SKTM Primary Teachers Programme project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
