Live Online Professional Development
Led by Gareth Metcalfe, Director of I See Maths
A range of online professional development courses and events are being run by Gareth Metcalfe in 2023-2024, all built around the key themes of creating reasoning habits, building problem-solvers. Full details of courses and events are listed below. When you sign on to a course, the school will be emailed the Zoom links for the sessions and an invoice will be sent. If you have any questions, please email iseemaths@hotmail.com.
Creating Reasoning Habits, Building Problem-Solvers in Y1 & Y2
Session 1: Tuesday 26th September, 1:15pm-2:45pm
Session 2: Tuesday 21st November, 1:15pm-2:45pm
Session 3: Tuesday 30th January, 1:15pm-2:45pm
£120 per participant for all 3 sessions
£90 per participart for 2+ teachers from the same school
This course, running over 3 sessions on Zoom, will explore how to place reasoning and problem-solving at the heart of the KS1 maths curriculum. We will consider a wide range of techniques for interweaving reasoning into maths lessons for all children. This will include how children can reason in whole-class teaching through to ways to build reasoning into questions and tasks. A coherent approach to introducing problem-solving will also be shared. Short tasks will be set between sessions for the participants.
Creating Reasoning Habits, Building Problem-Solvers in Y3 & Y4
Session 1: Wednesday 20th September, 1:15pm-2:45pm
Session 2: Wednesday 8th November, 1:15pm-2:45pm
Session 3: Wednesday 17th January, 1:15pm-2:45pm
£120 per participant for all 3 sessions
£90 per perticipant for 2+ teachers from the same school
This course, running over 3 sessions on Zoom, will explore how to place reasoning and problem-solving at the heart of the LKS2 maths curriculum. We will consider a wide range of techniques for interweaving reasoning into lessons for all children. This will include how children can reason in early knowledge acquisition through to how more open challenges can be built in. A coherent approach to teaching problem-solving will also be shared. There will be short tasks set for participants between sessions.
Creating Reasoning Habits, Building Problem-Solvers in Y5 & Y6
Session 1: Tuesday 19th September, 1:15pm-2:45pm
Session 2: Tuesday 14th November, 1:15pm-2:45pm
Session 3: Tuesday 23rd January, 1:15pm-2:45pm
£120 per participant for all 3 sessions
£90 per participant for 2+ teachers from the same school
This course, running over 3 sessions on Zoom, will explore how to place reasoning and problem-solving at the heart of the UKS2 maths curriculum. We will consider a wide range of techniques for interweaving reasoning into lessons for all children and deepening the challenge and we will discuss when each technique could be used within a sequence of lessons. A coherent approach to teaching problem-solving will also be shared. Lots of practical ideas will be given and there will be tasks to experiment with between sessions.
