- The ACME believe that prioritising professional learning in mathematics can only be achieved by working together. ‘Professional learning for all teachers of mathematics’ (2016) From: The Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME) summarises the challenges and key elements that contribute to achieving a shared vision explaining how you can liaise with other professionals to promote the inclusion of wider skills in mathematics.
- ‘Fostering Understanding of Early Numeracy Development’ (2016) By Kate Reid and Nicola Andrews. ACER is a research paper that examines the findings from a seven-year longitudinal study of children’s literacy and numeracy development throughout 100 primary schools’ around Australia. The report provides a description of the Longitudinal Literacy and Numeracy Study: Transitions from Preschool to School (LLANS:TPS) research for parents, early childhood educators and primary school teachers. It can also be used as a practical document, providing a number of activities in each of the key mathematical areas, for educators in early learning contexts and in primary schools.
- Click to read ‘Making Mathematics Learning More Engaging for Students in Health Schools through the Use of Apps’ by Helen Willacy and Nigel Calder. This article considers the issue of engaging students in mathematical learning when they are recovering from significant health issues. This thought-provoking article raises a number of themes, both positive and negative, in regard to how apps can influence student engagement and facilitate differentiated learning programs.
- This guide, ‘A Guide to Maths for Scientists’ (2015) from Pearson Education Ltd., outlines the content that students will have covered in their maths lessons throughout KS3 and KS4. Although the title suggests that this guide is aimed purely at scientists, it provides a much broader understanding of how different objectives are taught in maths. Each area is broken down into demand, approach, and terminology, making it a useful resource for students who might also wish to revise and revisit their own mathematical knowledge and understanding.
