What is involved?
This project is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners supporting the learning of primary maths.
It supports primary teaching assistants who are supporting maths to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, to build on the primary maths National Curriculum, and to develop distinct pedagogical decision-making which will impact on their practice when supporting maths. It takes place over the equivalent of four days.
What will you learn?
- Your pupils will positively engage with maths that challenges them
- You will identify common misconceptions and ways of addressing these to help pupils master important concepts
- You will develop an understanding of key principles and approaches associated with teaching for mastery
What is the cost?
The SKTM Primary Teaching Assistants Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
