This trio of days will draw on the recent Smith report, and recommendations from ACME and Ofsted to support primary teachers and leaders of mathematics in inspiring and engaging their learners and colleagues. ”‹Whether you are an existing or aspiring subject leader, a teacher seeking mathematical motivation or are already a regular NRICH PD attendee, we look forward to welcoming you and
working together.
1. Teaching Mathematics - So you think you know NRICH?
Come and explore new ways to use rich mathematical resources to develop problem-solving, reasoning and fluency skills in your classroom. We will consider pedagogical approaches that rely on teachers questioning answers, rather than answering questions. Discover the value of incomplete solutions, in encouraging learners to look for alternative approaches and elegant solutions.
There will be a chance to review what you think you know about NRICH (including some mathematical myth-busting), be inspired by some new additions and connect with our latest project focus.
2. Knowing Mathematics - Making the most of mistakes
Einstein said, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” At NRICH we think curiosity is the key to knowledge and as the focus of our latest project, we're inviting primary teachers and mathematics leaders to come and enhance their subject specific knowledge by being curious.
Here we will take the time to examine and plan for common misconceptions in primary mathematics, consider when to introduce cognitive conflict to build resilience and perseverance, and explore ways in which mistake-making can be a powerful pedagogical tool for good.
3. Enthusing Mathematicians - Leading learners
Inspiring a love of mathematics, whether in colleagues or your classroom, is an exciting and multifarious task! As part of this programme we will share with you some of our newest resources designed to promote mathematical curiosity and inspire awe and wonder. You will have the opportunity to seek and share innovative impactful ideas, expand your own enthusiasm for the subject and gain some
reflective perspective as part of a supportive professional community.
Each of these days can be attended as a stand alone event, but there are special offers for those who book for all three dates, and for a second member of staff attending from the same school (more details, including how to book, will be published in the autumn term and publicised in the NRICH teacher newsletter - register for the newsletter here).
Be the first to hear....
Do join our priority email list for Mathematics Leaders and Specialists in Primary Schools. Then you will be the first to hear of new conferences as soon as we add the dates to our site and also details of new resources to support you in school.
