I would like to invite Members of SLT and Subject Leaders to join me from 09:00am on Wednesday 6th March 2019 to reflect on the importance of reasoning in primary mathematics’.
The session, sponsored by Oxford University Press and organised by The Kirkby Collaborative of Schools offers the opportunity to attend a free full day of professional development, looking in detail at:
• The three curriculum aims and how they relate to teaching for mastery.
• Why is reasoning so important in primary mathematics?
• Making a start on reasoning.
At the end of the day delegates will receive materials which summarise the event, ,along with follow up information supporting them with ‘next steps’ and free resources they can share back in school.
Thank you, I look forward very much to meeting you.
With Best Wishes, Mike Askew (Independent Maths adviser)
