Developing Core Maths Pedagogy

Participant Information

Core Maths as a qualification is so valuable in building mathematical confidence and real-world thinking in our learners. This Work Group is for teachers of Core Maths who want to be part of a community of other Core Maths teachers, working together to give their students the best experience possible.  These may be teachers in post-16 settings whose main subject is maths or whose main subject is not maths. 

James Butterworth

Work Group Lead

This Work Group has been one of the most energising and productive professional development experiences for me. This year’s Work Group will include a session focused on the pre-release material, which has consistently received fantastic feedback and is often highlighted as one of the most valuable aspects of the programme. Another huge success is the shared expertise across schools — being able to sit down with others facing the same challenges and opportunities was truly powerful.
