Outline
The purpose of the programmes in this project is to support primary teachers in developing specialist knowledge for teaching mathematics, thus enabling them to understand, teach and support pupils in the maths classroom.
The programme is based on four core primary modules:
• Number sense
• Additive reasoning
• Multiplicative reasoning
• Fractions

What is Involved?
This Work Group is offered to impact on developing the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of maths.

Teachers will enhance their maths subject knowledge with an emphasis on the key structures in each mathematical area listed above. Time will be spent exploring the key elements that form number sense, including precise language, structures and representations. Teachers will be expected to review their own practice as a result of the sessions and make adaptations to their teaching.

Who can apply?
This Work Group is designed for teachers who would like to further develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. They will be particularly relevant for NQTs/RQTs, teachers that have moved phases or teachers that have not received maths-specific training.

What is the cost?
There is no cost for schools. Maths Hub professional development is funded through the DfE

Benefits
It has long been recognised that maths teaching is enhanced when the teachers are confident about the subject matter. This Work Group aims to increase maths subject and pedagogical knowledge leading to increased teacher confidence and more effective maths teaching.
