One aim of the National Strategies was to improve and strengthen the mathematical subject knowledge of teachers. To this end a wide range of materials, in the form of self-study units for teachers, were produced to supplement Continuing Professional Development courses.

The materials included:
*Algebra...

These resources allow the learning of maths within the engineering context of deployable structures. There are a range of secondary maths topics covered including density, nets,...

A resource from the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester which gives some examples of students' work and a variety of activities to develop mathematical skills.

Examples of students’ work from a wide range of ages and attainment. This section contains an overview of the project...

Eight more examples of students’ work from a wide range of ages and attainment, produced by the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester. They are accompanied by appropriate questions and activities all of which illustrate some characteristics of the type of work the project sought to promote.

Each...

A resource from the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester. Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM) believed that if all students were to begin their courses in secondary schools within the spirit of the new (at the time) GCSE proposals, and...

In Section 3 of the Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM) project, produced by the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, teachers discuss what they perceive to be an extended piece of work, and attempt to define the labels 'course work', 'projects' and 'write ups'.

During the...

In this section of the Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM) project, produced by the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, the project team attempt to clarify issues related to the evaluation of students' and teachers' work. As in the...

In this section of the Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM) material, from the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, assessment is discussed from a number of different viewpoints including those of the students, teachers and examination...

Launched in 2005 and funded by the Department for Education, Teachers TV was originally a television channel which aimed to provide support for both new and experienced teachers, school leaders, support staff and governors. Many of the programmes were filmed inside real classrooms, with teachers sharing good...

The Nuffield Mathematics Project Teachers' Guides cover the topics of computation and structure, shape and size, and graphs leading to algebra. The books do not cover years, or indeed any specific time; they simply develop themes and therefore show the teacher how to allow one child to progress at a different pace...

These materials exemplify the ideas and approaches adopted in the Standards Unit pilot. To get best value from them, we recommend that you use them in association with the guidance and other materials in the resource. The following are some specific hints and guidance:

• These sessions are offered as...

The 1998 National Curriculum gave rise to new emphases in both algebra and geometry and to the place of using ICT to develop mathematical thinking. These resources from the National Strategies were developed to tackle these aspects of the curriculum.

The approaches described in the booklet [b]Developing...

English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners who have come from other education systems may not have studied the same areas of mathematics that are taught in the UK. For example, in many countries, statistics and probability are not taught until university level and many places do not teach geometry until ...

This booklet produced by the QCDA (formerly QCA) in collaboration with the National Strategies offers guidance on the teaching of effective mental strategies for mental calculation and the use of calculators for students who have not yet attained level five.

This booklet is designed to assist your planning...
