Developing Core Maths Pedagogy
Who can take part?
Teachers of Core Maths in Post-16 settings are welcome, whether their main subject is maths or another subject, provided they are in at least their second year of teaching the Core Maths qualification. Where appropriate, participants will be expected to work with colleagues in their own department to share their learning.

Express your interest for our 2026/27 programme. We will contact you with dates and venue once this is confirmed.
What is involved?
These Work Groups will give teachers opportunities, through collaboration and experimentation, to develop improved teaching approaches that support the open-ended problem-solving skills students need and to share these with departmental colleagues. Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in the Work Group.
Participants will engage with the Maths Hub Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), who are working in partnership to deliver this opportunity.
What will you learn?
- Understand the philosophy of Core Maths, with its approach to teaching and learning maths through contextualised problem-solving in authentic situations
- Have an understanding of how the NCETM's teaching for mastery pedagogy relates to Core Maths pedagogy
- Share approaches on the planning and delivery of the Core Maths curriculum
- Identify and make effective use of existing Core Maths resources
How much will it cost?
Developing Core Maths Pedagogy is a fully funded Work Group by the Maths Hub Programme meaning it is free to participating schools.
