A two-day course for Teaching Assistants working at Key Stage 2

Your own experience of learning mathematics at school may be different from children today. This course will enable you to approach your support work in a more confident way by exploring the best practice for the learning and teaching of mathematics.

On this course you will:

• reflect on your role as a teaching assistant in the daily mathematics lesson
• examine the teaching of mental and written methods of calculation
• consider the use of some resources for teaching mathematics
• try different types of activities which promote children’s mathematical understanding
