‘Where do I start ?’ Helping students to unlock strategies to solve problems in geometry. Session Overview By exploiting connections between various KS3 and KS4 geometric content, we will compare different approaches to solve particular problems in shape and space. This will lead us to exploring strategies that can be employed
Getting into Shape: Geometry in the Early Years Session Overview Geometric ideas are essential mathematical and educational building blocks of early mathematics—complementing and enhancing number. Our learning trajectories approach is developmentally appropriate, effective, and joyous as it supports children’s natural ways of thinking. Our LTs’ instruction incorporates both old and new technologies, from blocks and puzzles to digital activities. Based on 20
