Overview

Our Core Maths Summer Festival is an extensive series of online interactive workshops. Each session will provide resources and activities which you can take straight to the classroom.

You can download the Core Maths Summer Festival 2023 Programme to see a summary of all 8 sessions.

Please note that the main session content will be delivered in the first hour and a half of each session and the remaining time will be dedicated to questions and support.

Who will benefit from attending?

These sessions are designed to appeal to all teachers that wish to bring their contextualised maths lessons to life. No prior experience or knowledge of L3 Core Maths is required. 

Speaker

Sue Hough

Sue Hough is based at MMU and since 2003 has worked extensively on the development of a classroom approach based upon the inspirational and transformative Dutch initiative, 

Content

RME teachers aim to develop a classroom environment where the context is at the forefront. Students are expected to explain their ideas to others, listen and respond to what other students say. This means that in many respects, RME classrooms frequently look very similar to Core Maths ones! 

In this session, Sue will work with pedagogies that encourage students to engage with deep thinking whilst taking ownership for their own learning. This will be modelled through the use of various contexts as a route into developing an inquisitive classroom culture that fosters curiosity and understanding. 

Materials and equipment

The sessions will take place via zoom. If you register for the session, you will be sent a zoom link one week before and on the day of the event.

We aim to emulate as much of the ‘face-to-face’ experience as possible and strongly encourage you to put your webcam on for some or all of the session. Please also come prepared to discuss and reflect for short periods in breakout rooms as this will be a feature of some of the sessions.

Due to the interactive nature of these events, they are not recorded. If you are looking for Core Maths PD that you can do in your own time we recommend our ‘On Demand Core Maths top-ups’.

Eligibility

All teachers are eligible to apply for a place at the festival. If the festival becomes over-subscribed, teachers from state-funded schools and colleges in England are given priority; this may mean that we may be unable to provide places to non-state-sector applicants.
