Welcome to our September Primary Bulletin, we hope you had a great summer break.
We are excited to share that applications have now opened for our Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics Programmes for Teachers, Teaching Assistants and Early Career Teachers. Spaces are also still available for schools looking to join the Primary Teaching for Mastery Programme.
It is worth remembering that all our Work Groups, Programmes and Communities are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so participation is free for all state funded schools.
This Thursday, 28th September, we also still have availability for teachers from schools in our region to attend a FREE online event with Steve Wren (Ofsted subject lead for mathematics).
Please remember to visit our website between bulletins to keep updated on all our professional development opportunities. All enquiries should go to admin@emsmathshub.org.uk

|
|
|
The SKTM - Primary Teachers Programme has two Pathways: Number and Spatial Reasoning.
The Number Pathway is based on five core primary modules- Policy and impact on practice, number sense, additive reasoning, multiplicative reasoning and fractions.
The Spatial Reasoning will focus on- The importance of spatial reasoning within the mathematics curriculum, understanding the properties of shapes and developing geometric reasoning, enhancing opportunities for spatial reasoning and considering links between spatial reasoning and number/calculation.
Interested?
Follow the link below for further information and how to apply.
Number Pathway please apply by Friday 13th October 2023
Spatial Reasoning please apply by Monday 23rd October 2023 |
