Description
This webinar will provide headteachers, mathematics leads, teachers and teaching assistants with practical guidance and creative methods they can use to nurture and develop pupils’ problem-solving skills in mathematics.
Problem-solving has long been at the heart of the mathematics curriculum. Teaching children how to problem solve in mathematics can support children’s ability to critically evaluate, encourage independence and develop their skills in reasoning and creativity. It is also an essential part of developing mastery of the subject.
In this webinar, the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM), who aim to support the teaching and learning of mathematics in the UK, will explore strategies that schools can use to teach problem-solving which are creative, engaging, fun and reflect a better understanding of the needs of the learner.
Learning Outcomes
Outcome 1: Understanding how to plan and implement effective teaching practice in mathematics which supports children’s ability to problem solve and improve critical thinking skills.
Outcome 2: Recognising successful techniques that can be used in the classroom which improve fluency and reasoning in mathematics.
Outcome 3: Appreciating the importance of making problem-solving learning tailored towards the needs of children and ensuring continuous sharing and evaluation of different methods used.
Outcome 4: Understanding how to implement different approaches to teaching about problem-solving and equipping children with different tools they can use for the rest of their life.
Outcome 5: Recognising the advantages of promoting a culture which encourages discussion between peers and supports trust and confidence in the classroom.
