A course for Key Stage 2 teachers and mathematics subject leaders

Simply acquiring facts does not constitute successful learning. What children know is closely linked with how they came to know it – which in turn depends on the nature of activities they have participated in. By encouraging creative approaches we can nurture and stimulate children’s mathematical learning.

On this course you will:

• consider what it means to be creative in mathematics
• explore creative strategies for teaching key concepts such as place value and fractions
• explore the creative use of equipment
• identify inclusive strategies that provide challenge and motivation
