  1. Mathematics SCITT Induction Day July 2015

  2. Today we will consider… • why mathematics is an important subject • how the programme supports students in mathematics teaching & learning • what the mathematics taught course looks like • reading and self-study you can do over the summer

  3. Why? Why is maths important?

  4. National Curriculum • Do you know what is in the primary maths national curriculum? • What would you expect to be in it?

  5. Purpose of Study Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary in most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

  6. Aims ‘Mastery’ • become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils have conceptual understanding and are able to recall and apply their knowledge rapidly and accurately to problems • reason mathematicallyby following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language • can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.

  7. Mathematics: Number and Place Value + and - x and ÷ Fractions Algebra Measurement Geometry Properties of Shape Position and Direction Statistics National Curriculum 2014 Read the age-related expectations for KS1, LKS2 and UKS2

  8. Teacher Standards • 3a Have a secure knowledge of the relevant subject(s) and curriculum areas, foster and maintain pupils’ interest in the subject, and address misunderstandings • 3e If teaching early mathematics, demonstrate a clear understanding of appropriate teaching strategies

  9. Maths 10 Day Taught Course Subject Knowledge EYFS & Primary (KS1 and KS2) Some KS3 Related pedagogy The ‘skill of teaching’ maths

  10. SCITT- Influencing Learning Reading and

  11. Self-study • What can you do to start your studies for next year? • Start your mathematics work folder! • Diarise anytime you revisit / refresh/ revise previous mathematics learning • Diarise any reading or background prep

  12. Maths Folder (to be added to throughout the year) Self-study • Completed maths audits with identified areas of learning from audit + post-audit research Observations • Copies of feedback from variety of visitors Course day notes & readings • Reflective logs on reading carried out between course days (individual and in reading groups) Resources • Background reading for lessons(pre- and post-lesson) including useful websites, articles/ papers/ books…

  13. Induction Audit 3 levels – choose your own level of confidence • Level 1 – Year 9 ] www.IXL.com • Level 2 – Year 10 ] • GCSE – Year 11 ] BBC Bitesize • Bring to Maths Day 1

  14. A useful website • www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize

  15. Day 1 Pre-reading READING: Mike Askew ‘Effective Teachers of Numeracy’ Summary ‘Issues in Teaching Numeracy in Primary Schools’ [Second Edition] Chapter 2 Introduction & Chapter 1 of D Haylock ‘Mathematics Explained for Primary Teachers’. [1 Google and 2 & 3 in school ‘Book Box’]
