  1. LSIS STEM Mathematics Network27th February 2012 • Aims of the day • To share good ideas which have worked well for other maths and numeracy teachers • To provide delegates with resources, techniques and information which will help in their teaching and learning activities.

  2. Functional Maths: using multimedia to get your students wanting to solve problems • Video

  3. Functional Maths: using multimedia to get your students wanting to solve problems • Do you use multimedia to motivate your learners? • Google “danmeyers video blog”for more ideas • Make a video, take a photo, build a lesson.......

  4. From E3 to L2 – dealing with a range of ability • Think about 2 recent teaching sessions. • Which of the two would you describe as more successful in meeting the needs of all your learners? Why?

  5. From E3 to L2 – dealing with a range of ability • What’s the problem? All classes are mixed-ability.... • Spend two minutes jotting down the particular issues you have (or have had). Write them on post-it notes. • Get together and see if you can put them in categories. (You can add more issues if you think of them)

  6. From E3 to L2 – dealing with a range of ability • What’s the solution? • Have you dealt with any of these (successfully)?

  7. From E3 to L2 – dealing with a range of ability • What’s the solution? Class of 30 students – provide 30 different worksheets?

  8. From E3 to L2 – dealing with a range of ability • Whole class teaching • Same start point – different outcomes. Examples?

  9. From E3 to L2 – dealing with a range of ability • What resources are there? • Skills workshop www.skillsworkshop.org/ • Bowland Maths www.bowland.org.uk
