  1. Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012

  2. Session 1 - Local and national updates Headline data KS2, GCSE Review of GCSE linear papers Qualifications update Further Maths Update Session 2 – Teaching & Learning mathematics With a focus on able mathematicians, developing strategies to teach A/A* topics Programme

  3. To be updated as to developments at a local and national level in Mathematics To become familiar with materials to promote engaging teaching and learning in the mathematics classroom Objectives

  4. Starter

  5. Level 6Paper 1 Calculator not allowed

  6. Level 6Paper 2 Calculator allowed

  7. KS2 – 4 Progress2012 Data (2011 in red)

  8. KS2 – 4 Progression

  9. School Number of pupils LA Percentage of pupils School Percentage of pupils National Percentage of pupils KS2 – 4 Progression

  10. Additional Qualifications

  11. Exam Boards

  12. E-bacc certificate will be English, mathematics, science with first teaching September 2015 There will only be one exam board per subject offering a linear examination No coursework in English and mathematics (some in science) English Baccalaureate Certificate

  13. Additional funding (£500 per pupil) for those pupils who left primary school not attaining L4 or above in English and/or mathematics Can be used for 1 to 1 tuition, summer school, catch up classes First payment will be January 2013 for current Y7 cohort Catch up Premium

  14. Edexcel Awards in Algebra Available at Level 2 and Level 3 Available for first examination and award in May 2013 L2 and 3 non calculator papers of 1½ and 2 hours These qualifications are aimed at students who: need to develop their mathematical skills in a particular area (e.g. algebra) and build confidence in the subject before progressing to GCSE or GCE mathematics want to gain a qualification which demonstrates their mathematical ability. New Qualifications http://www.edexcel.com/quals/academic-awards/maths/algebra/Pages/default.aspx

  15. Edexcel Award in AlgebraL2

  16. Edexcel Award in AlgebraL3

  17. Ofqual also announced that, from September 2013, students in England will no longer be able to sit A level examinations in January.    A level Changes

  18. Schools not showing the expected improvement, or good schools where the quality of education has declined, will follow the pattern set out in the table below: Ofsted Update

  19. Y8 Masterclasses http://education.staffordshire.gov.uk/Curriculum/Subjectareas/Mathematics/SubjectLeaders/Subject+Leaders Deadline: 5 December 2012

  20. Customer Negotiated Support • Based on 1 tutor to 30 delegates (dependant on the audience) • Prices applicable until 31 March 2013

  21. MATB12011001 19 March 2013 Highs Only MATB12003001 12 March 2013 Middles only Spring Term SLDM

  22. Session 2: Developing strategies to teach A*/A topics

  23. To consider the topics that potentially limit the attainment of gifted and talented students To develop a bank of resources to engage and challenge the most able students in these identified topics Objectives

  24. Starter

  25. Level 5 to A*/A Conversion

  26. Generate a list of A/A* topics that students find difficult in their examinations Task

  27. Application of algebra in geometry questions (e.g. volumes of cones and spheres using algebra) Applying surds in unfamiliar situations (e.g. Pythagoras’ Theorem) Proof, including algebra, vectors and circle theorems Manipulation of algebra, including algebraic fractions Histograms Transformation of graphs Topics – some suggestions

  28. Sort the cards into groups Extension: You have 4 sets and 4 extra cards Write more cards for the extra ones so that there are 8 sets altogether Sketch the 8 graphs, marking on the key points of interception Making links

  29. During previous subject leader network meetings we have considered the following strategies: Card sorts (including Tarsia activities) Mystery tasks Developing exam questions Exploring misconceptions Functional mathematics problems Probing questions Ordering student responses Investigations – open ended tasks Types of Activity

  30. In pairs or threes … … choose at least one of the identified topics and create a resource that will assist the teaching and learning of this area. (it could be something that you already do!!) Task

  31. In your school: Consider whether the list of difficult topics would be the same for your school Repeat this process back in school to generate a bank of resources for targeted groups (e.g. C/D borderline) Integrate the resources into your scheme of work once you receive them Next Steps
