Do you want to teach Mathematics at secondary level and don’t have a traditional Mathematics background?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone; only 43% of secondary Maths teachers have a degree in Mathematics or post A-Level qualification in a subject containing higher level maths.
Do you want to feel more inspired, confident and increase your knowledge and skills when teaching mathematics even though mathematics is not your specialism? In this intensive course you will explore the characteristics of good maths teaching and develop strategies that promote good learning and deeper understanding. During the course you will develop strategies to teach algebra for understanding, build ratio and proportion on a firm foundation of multiplicative reasoning, use manipulatives and multiple representations, and approaches to problem solving.
Increase your skills and knowledge of the subject and become more confident in your teaching of mathematics.
Who is this course for?
This course is perfect for cover supervisors, or qualified teachers who aren't mathematics specialists. Ideally you will have a GCSE or O-Level qualification and just need a refresher, then this course is for you. Alternatively, if you have taken our Maths for mums 'n' dads course, then this is a natural second step in your journey to becoming a number whizz! The course is unassessed, and a certificate of attendance & achievement will be issued upon completion of it.
