Eligible schools in 2024/25 will have a choice from four Work Group options below, depending upon their preferred focus and stage of development. Eligible schools will have previously completed the Developing TfM phase of the programme or have been the host schools of TfM Specialists.
The path to TfM Sustaining explained in more detail HERE.
Fully funded by the Maths Hubs programme. This offer is free to state funded schools.
A: Developing Mathematical Thinking
This Work Group is designed to support the development of a curriculum which includes explicit problem-solving strategies. Dates and times of sessions will be published in due course. |
B: Developing Fluency with Multiplicative Reasoning in Key Stage 3
The new 2024/25 focus on developing fluency with multiplicative reasoning is open to all schools involved in the Sustaining phase of teaching for mastery, even if they have taken a break since starting their mastery journey. Multiplicative reasoning underpins approximately two thirds of the content of GCSE Maths, and this focus will allow departments to fully understand its implications for KS3 teaching.
C: Developing Coherence across Maths & Science
This Work Group is jointly lead by specialists in maths and science to support schools develop improved coherence between these curriculum areas.
Dates and times of sessions will be published in due course.
D: Principles of Teaching for Mastery
This option would suit schools that would like to return to first-principles due to a change of team, for example. We shall consider the principles and aims of Teaching for Mastery and the associated pedagogy such as: variation, representation, mathematical thinking, fluency and coherence.
Dates and times of sessions will be published in due course.
