Successful mathematicians understand curriculum concepts, are fluent in mathematical skills and procedures, can solve problems, explain and justify their thinking, and have a positive attitude towards mathematics, and to themselves as learners of mathematics.
To support Problem-Solving Schools, we are offering guidance, to help develop students' mathematical thinking skills, and nurture their mathematical mindsets.
The guidance below includes links to recordings of the relevant webinars (Primary and Secondary).
You can find information about the remaining webinars on our Events page.
Developing Mathematical Thinking
Developing Mathematical Mindsets
Problem Solving Beyond the Curriculum
Charlie and Liz have recently been working with The National College to record a two-part ‘webinar’ for Primary and Secondary teachers, in which they present the thinking that informs NRICH’s recent work on developing students’ mathematical thinking skills. During the recording, Charlie and Liz show how tasks from the NRICH website can be selected and used by teachers wanting to embed more problem solving in their classroom practice.
Both parts of the webinar can be viewed on The National College YouTube channel:
