It has long been recognised that maths teaching is enhanced when the teachers are confident about the subject matter. Maths Hubs work with a range of partners to ensure there is effective professional development of new teachers of maths in schools so that they have the specialist knowledge required to support the learning of maths. This project is offered to impact on developing the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of maths.

The programme is based on four core primary modules:

• Number sense

• Additive reasoning

• Multiplicative reasoning

• Fractions.

An additional module offers an introduction which sets the scene for the current maths teaching landscape. Depending on the structure of the programme at a local level, the time commitment will be equivalent to three or four days.

Dates

Participants and their schools must be able to commit to the full academic year’s programme. This is likely to involve some face-to-face activity alongside online collaboration. During the programme, participants will be asked to undertake tasks with learners to deepen their thinking about the learning of maths, and to share this with colleagues. It is asked that school leaders support their staff to complete this work.

The SKTM – Primary programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
