Teaching and learning approaches in mathematics

Secondary mathematics teachers can use the principles and ideas in this collection when reviewing the opportunities they plan for pupils. The materials can help to improve teaching and extend pupils’ learning experiences. This collection is part of the area of pedagogy in secondary mathematics, which also includes collections on each of the mathematical strands: number, algebra, geometry and statistics.

Developing teaching and learning approaches

Find out how mathematics teachers and their departments can take practical steps towards improving pupils' experiences of the subject as you support planning by collaborating with colleagues to develop teaching approaches and extend pupils’ learning experiences. This is part of 'Pedagogy in secondary mathematics'.
Literacy in mathematics

This resource offers practical strategies to enhance literacy skills of pupils in talk, reading, writing and using mathematical vocabulary. It helps Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 teachers to develop pupils' literacy skills to support the teaching and learning of mathematical processes and applications. This resource is part of Developing teaching and learning approaches within the area of pedagogy in secondary mathematics.
