Are you looking to develop your skills and techniques?
We offer an extensive range of professional development opportunities for experienced and new teachers of KS3 maths.
Explore our professional development courses
Our leading Teaching GCSE Mathematics (TGM) course addresses both KS3 and KS4 maths, and it’s ideal if you’re new to teaching secondary maths.
The course gave me far more useful ideas for using in the classroom than I ever imagined!

Key Stage 2-3 Transition webinars
Maintaining pupils’ motivation and continuity in maths learning when they start in Year 7 can be challenging, so we’ve made this a particular focus of our support for you.
If you’re looking for extra support for your Year 7 class as they make this journey, listen to these ‘Supporting Key Stage 2 to 3 Transition in Maths’ webinars.
Teaching for mastery
Mastering maths means students of all ages acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject.
The phrase ‘teaching for mastery’ describes the elements of classroom practice and school organisation that combine to give students the best chances of mastering maths.
Achieving mastery means acquiring a solid enough understanding of the maths that’s been taught to enable students to move on to more advanced material.
The NCETM offer a range of materials, guidance and opportunities to understand and develop a mastery approach in your classroom and school.
Attend the MEI Annual Conference
Our annual conference runs soon after the summer exams session, and you’re invited. It’s an amazing opportunity for maths teachers and enthusiasts at all stages of their careers to share, explore, discuss and evaluate ideas for the classroom. There’s a huge choice of sessions for you to join, led by experienced teachers and subject experts from across the maths community. It all adds up to a brilliant experience that’s exceptional value for money.
The MEI conference has revolutionised my teaching.
Fantastic conference – a really enjoyable experience. Rejuvenated my enthusiasm for teaching.
I absolutely loved the conference and I’m super keen to go again next year. Many, many thanks to everyone at MEI for all the hard work and effort that went into a brilliant, useful, well-managed, inspiring, informative, principled, practical, illuminating, useful and fun conference.
