Morgan, Debbie – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
Designing quality continuing professional development (CPD) for those teaching mathematics in primary schools is a challenge. If the CPD is to be built on the scaffold of five big ideas in mathematics, what might be these five big ideas? Might it just be a case of, if you tell me your five big ideas, then I'll tell you mine? Here, there is…

Kuchemann, Dietmar; Rodd, Melissa – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
The title is that of a course with the same name, designed for teachers of mathematics. The rational for a course specifically on geometry was that "many of those currently teaching mathematics in school had little geometrical education". Teachers on the course experience geometry through problem solving, and learning to pose geometrical problems.…

Sharp, John – Mathematics Teaching, 2010
Art uses mathematics in many ways. The author's teaching and involvement with mathematics and art in the Bridges Conference connecting the two have convinced him more and more that concepts for understanding mathematics can be achieved by the use of art. The author states that one reason he believes in teaching mathematics through art is that it…

Jones, Keith – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
When it comes to using software to enhance the learning and teaching of mathematics it is all too easy to "talk the talk", but "walking the walk" is something else. There are many pertinent problems associated with accessibility, robust systems, curriculum time, classroom management, software familiarity and intuitive usage to name but a few.…

Blinko, Janine – Mathematics Teaching, 2011
There are many advantages to having a national approach to teaching and learning mathematics. In England the approach brought with it a number of elements; a national curriculum, national tests and later a framework for teaching mathematics. There have been many great things emerge from these developments... an enhanced understanding of…

Thompson, Ian – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
Ofsted was asked to provide evidence of effective practice in the teaching of early arithmetic, its report entitled; "Good practice in primary mathematics: evidence from 20 successful schools," was published in November 2011. Did this report pass you by? Unfortunately, as with many other reports not blessed with a "high…

Butler, Douglas – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
In short, this is a "master class". The learning and teaching of mathematics can be revolutionised with the creative use of dynamic software is an oft quoted mantra. Here, this mantra is exemplified through the documented experiences of using Autograph to enliven, to extend, and to foster the understanding of differentiation and integration. The…

Sangster, Margaret – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
As with much in life the term "investigative", when used to describe an approach to teaching and learning, can have many interpretations. Some might consider that the term "investigations" is somehow "mired in the past", others might consider "investigations" to be a "credo" that sustains their own mathematics teaching and learning. With…

Williams, Doug – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
Doug Williams presented the opening address at Conference 2012 on the theme of "Enigmas". This is storytelling about the learning and teaching of mathematics at its best. The descriptions are of real classrooms with real teachers, and real learners. As with many good stories this is the narrative of a journey. A journey that seeks to change…

Williams, Doug – Mathematics Teaching, 2010
For more than one hundred years teachers have paddled beside the great ocean of mathematical adventure. Between them they have taught millions of young people. A few have dived in and kept swimming, some have lingered on the shore playing in pools, but most have dipped their toes in and run like heck in the other direction never to return. There…

Davis, Sue – Mathematics Teaching, 2009
The Williams Review (Dept. for Children, Schools and Families, 2008) is significantly important to all early years and primary educationalists, including those who are involved in teaching mathematics to the next generation of primary school teachers. The report, compiled as a result of this review, sets out the ways that children in primary…

Coles, Alf – Mathematics Teaching, 2011
This article discusses how the author has adopted a multimedia approach to teaching and Continuing Professional Development (CPD). There is widespread acceptance of the potential power for using video recordings of lessons as a vehicle for teacher learning. Yet a re-current problem has been reported in research projects, from as far back as 1990,…

A group of teachers involved in embedding NRICH tasks (http://nrich.maths.org) into their everyday practice were keen to challenge common perceptions of mathematics, and of the teaching and learning of mathematics. In this article, the teachers share what they are doing to change these perceptions in their schools.

Arwani, Salima Shahzad – Mathematics Teaching, 2011
During Mathematics Teaching Course-I (MT-I), the author was given the opportunity to teach a primary mathematics class at a Government school in Karachi, Pakistan while on teaching practice. The author was lucky to be able to share the lesson planning with a friend, and they found the sharing of ideas a supportive process. The focus of the lesson…
