This course addresses Recommendation 9 of the Williams Review into primary mathematics, which supports the continuation of the current curriculum ahead of the Rose Review of the Primary National Curriculum, and asks whether 'use and application' should be more widely used in primary teaching.

By attending this course, delegates will reconsider Attainment Target Ma1 of the Mathematics National Curriculum in the light of Williams, look at the elements of Ma1 (Problem Solving, Communication and Reasoning) and explore how to reinforce teaching and learning of Ma1 in their schools, both in mathematics lessons and more broadly across the curriculum. It will provide opportunities to try some activities, discuss them and take back ideas most appropriate to their own school situation.
