Core Maths Winter Conference 2019/20

Overview

A free one-day professional development conference designed for teachers in schools and colleges either offering, or thinking about offering, Core Maths. The day will mainly focus on approaches for teaching and learning Core Maths whilst expanding your students’ perception of the world in which they live. We are excited that at this conference we will be hearing from a representative from a (relatively) local university about the mathematics their undergraduates will be using. We will also have an in depth session on our free online Core Maths Platform, explore those key areas of the curriculum that are giving Core Maths students particular problems as well as providing delegates with ample opportunity to gather resources and ideas and share experiences with teachers from other schools and colleges. Please feel free to sign up regardless of your level of experience with Core Maths or your past attendance to AMSP Core Maths events.

Aims

• Develop pedagogical approaches for planning and teaching Core Maths effectively.
• Increase awareness of key features of the Integral Core Maths Platform whilst considering how best to use it.

• Network and share ideas with fellow teachers of Core Maths.
