Join our #CfEMLive21 online event which sees maths practitioners from across England sharing outcomes from their action research projects. The themes are mastery teaching; with a focus on 1:1, small group support and diagnostic approaches and  data & technology: with a focus on using technology to engage and teach.

This interactive course will present examples of activities that can be used with learners to develop their understanding of algebra, an area which is challenging to many. It will focus on algebraic expressions and linear equations. You will also look at how to encourage learners to rethink problems and secure their learning through tackling problems.

This course will focus on practical teaching activities that can be used with learners to develop their understanding of some basic topics. A range of activities that differentiate and engage, will be tested and discussed.

You will also consider other ways of using these activities to fit with your learners and the environment in which you teach.

This course will focus on the barriers students have with motivation in maths and look at ways in which we can address this in our planning to help them engage with the subject.

These interactive sessions, free for those who have participated in other paid for CPD, will provide a chance for participants to share ideas of effective practice around an maths topic.

This is aimed at both new teachers of Functional Skills maths and those already teaching but possibly recently transferred from other areas, including vocational teachers and assessors. It is particularly suitable for those who do not currently hold a specific teaching qualification in maths. It is designed to meet the needs of all parts of the sector, including independent training providers, FE colleges, offender learning and adult and community education.

This interactive course will support technical and vocational tutors, trainers and assessors to identify naturally occurring opportunities to develop learners' maths skills which are needed for them to successfully complete their study programme, apprenticeship or vocational or technical course. A range of resources and best practice approaches will be discussed.

This initial meeting is for all members of each college WCA team. An overview of the WCA project will be presented, including the tools, planned approach and timescale. WCA teams will complete the first self-assessment activity individually during this session and use this to inform a discussion about the context of the problem they aim to address in their WCA teams. There will be opportunities for feedback and discussion with the UoN team leading the project (Professor Andy Noyes and Dr Diane Dalby) and with members of other WCA teams to share ideas.
