Maths Mastery in an Adult Setting

Maths mastery is an approach to teaching maths that ensures learners develop a deep, secure understanding of mathematical concepts. It emphasises using representations and structured practice to build fluency and confidence in applying maths flexibly and effectively to a wide range of problems.

These sessions build on the free Adult Maths Education and Skills Network events, giving you the chance to explore topics in more depth. If you can’t attend the network session, don’t worry – this will still be a valuable opportunity to delve into the subject and share and discuss ideas with other teachers.
