A two-day course for Key Stage 1 teachers and mathematics subject leaders

Children need to engage in a wide range of problem-solving tasks if they are to appreciate how mathematics can help them solve real everyday problems and provide an outlet for their creative abilities. We must provide suitable learning opportunities to help them develop and refine their reasoning and problem-solving skills.

On this course you will:

• consider how to develop children’s ability to reason and justify their ideas
• review the teacher’s role within a problem-solving context
• find out how to identify appropriate activities
  and investigations
• consider how questioning can support and extend children’s learning
