Maths for TAs
Focus: Curriculum
For: Teaching assistants
Description:
The support of Teaching Assistants in developing pupil’s mathematical experiences is invaluable.
During this session we will explore:
- strategies to enhance the teaching and learning of maths
- latest developments in maths education and the role that TAs play
- the use of manipulatives to aid pupils understanding of key concepts
- the use of maths language and stem sentences and how TAs can model these to support the pupils use and understanding.
Director’s Note:
TAs told us they want support with doing the very best in Maths; here it is. Perhaps book extra places and have all TAs and the Maths leader attend together in one room?
