This workshop equips educators with practical strategies for high-impact mathematics teaching. It covers how teachers develop and apply expertise to improve classroom practice, emphasizing the link between mathematical reasoning and oral language development. Participants will explore key principles for teaching problem-solving and learn how to use concrete and pictorial representations to build students' conceptual understanding. The session also offers practical assessment techniques to help teachers identify and build on students' existing knowledge. With a blend of theory and hands-on activities, this workshop provides tools to enhance teaching and improve student learning outcomes.
The workshop will draw on key research and practices linked to high-impact mathematics teaching. The key content explored in the workshop will be:
