Supporting Students

The course provides opportunities for reflection upon creating effective and engaging environments for learning mathematics and support with applying these in the classroom.

“As someone at the start of my teaching career I’ve learned lots of new approaches to teaching these topics, ways of using manipulatives and interactive resources (particularly useful as I work in a specialist SEN setting) and ways of linking students’ existing skills and knowledge to newer concepts.”
