Who can take part?
This is for teaching assistants who work predominantly with students in the KS3 maths classroom or who lead intervention sessions with groups of students. Participants’ schools should already be engaged with a Teaching for Mastery Work Group, and this programme will complement this provision.
Participants will focus on using precise mathematical language, representations and reasoning within the topics: addition and subtraction; multiplication and division; fractions; ratio and proportion.
