Teaching Mathematics in Stage 3

This one day course will look at the Stage demands for teaching mathematics. A refresher of Stage appropriate content for teachers moving between stages or an introduction to teachers new to S3.

Content focus:

• Important relevant stage syllabus outcomes – looking at what comes before and where we are going!
• Unpacking problem-solving strategies that demonstrate fluency in mathematical techniques.
• Build knowledge of staff in the mathematical terminology and conventions appropriate for Stage 3.
• Supporting students to understand and apply ‘real-life’ situations to problem-solving and working mathematically outcomes within Stage 3.
• Formative assessment examples in Mathematics
• The balance between formative and summative assessments to drive teaching and student groups.
• Differentiating content within the stage – differentiating using content, process and product for tasks.
• Backward mapping for planning rich learning tasks
• Simple classroom resources
