Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics

(Core Maths Teachers)

Support for teachers new to teaching this qualification

This programme supports teachers, who are within their first two years of teaching Core Maths, in developing specialist knowledge for teaching Core Maths and increases their confidence in teaching the Core Maths course. The programme forms part of the overall Advanced Mathematics Support programme (AMSP) and Maths Hubs Core Maths professional development offer. After successfully completing this Work Group in full, teachers can move on to apply for the Developing Core Maths Pedagogy Work Group.

The principle focus is on Core Maths subject knowledge and pedagogy, and the programme will be based on six key themes: using contextualised problem-solving; applying Fermi estimation and modelling; developing critical analysis; making sense of finance; using the pre-release materials; exploring statistics.
