Working
together
How can I encourage children to work
together more effectively?
How can we develop mathematics
teaching and learning across the school?
What sort of classroom and school
communities are best for learning?
Find the answers at
the BEAM 2008 conference!
The BEAM conference is a
great opportunity to explore
the classroom communities
we need to foster to encourage effective learning,
particularly through productive group work in
mathematics. Drawing on research and their extensive
experience, Mike Askew and Lynne McClure will explore
ways of working that are
shown to engage learners and raise standards.
They will also look at
how good practice in mathematics education can have an impact beyond
the mathematics classroom and help children become both effective learners
and community builders.
The conferences will be held in the following venues:
King’s College,
Strand,
London,
WC2
Bridgewater Hall,
Lower Mosley Street,
Manchester,
M2 3WS
Holland House Hotel,
Redcliffe Way,
Bristol,
BS1 6SQ
Our keynote speakers are Mike Askew and Lynne McClure:
Mike Askew
Mike taught in primary schools before moving into teacher education and research. Mike is a director of BEAM and closely involved in BEAM’s publishing and professional development. He is professor of mathematics education at King’s College, London and has written extensively on primary mathematics. Mike has worked with teachers, consultants and policy makers around the world.
Lynne McClure
Lynne works with children and adults in all sectors of education and is particularly interested in the needs of able mathematicians in inclusive classrooms. She runs the postgraduate primary mathematics course at Edinburgh University and
works with the NRICH project in Cambridge. An author of many articles and books, Lynne’s public appearances include the Royal Institution and Teachers TV.
In addition, you can choose from a selection of five afternoon workshops on offer, all based on maths case studies and action research undertaken in school.
A - A practical approach to working collaboratively
B - Becoming a problem solving school
C - Leading learning as a maths subject leader
D - Developing classroom communities of enquiry
E - Community building through mathematics games
Join us to explore how you can build communities of learners
in your class, school or LA.
The conference fee is £195 + VAT which includes refreshments,
lunch and a delegate pack.
