Teaching Resources on STEM e-library
These are my favourite resources situated on the STEM e-library. They inclue a lot of resources which I thought I had lost such as resources from the national strategies and the Standards Unit reosurces
Key National Strategy Resources for GCSE Mathematics
This is a selection of CPD resources including teaching ideas from the Secondary National Strategy, chosen to support planning, teaching and assessment.
The resources cover:
• Geometrical reasoning
• Proportional reasoning
• Algebra study units
• Subject leadership
• Planning
• Pedagogy
• Assessment including APP
• Intervention
• Whole School i
The Standards Unit: Improving learning in mathematics
The Standards Unit: Improving Learning in Mathematics The materials use active learning approaches originally designed for post-16 mathematics but for use across the secondary phase.
The resources were developed from the work of Susan Wall, a Gatsby fellow working at Wilberforce College, Hull and Dr Malcolm Swan from Nottingham University. They build on research evidence which suggests that learning mathematics is far more successful if learners are actively engaged, encouraged to think mathematically and to see links and connections.
Nuffield Applying Mathematical Processes (AMP)
These AMP resources are based on 20 of the Graded Assessment in Mathematics (GAIM) materials produced with Nuffield support in the 1980s. They are classroom-trialled resources to support teachers in their teaching and assessment of the key processes of mathematics at Key Stages 3 and 4.
The AMP activities include:
• Mathematical Investigations
• Practical Explorations.
Each activity comes with a 'student stimulus sheet' and 'teachers' notes' and some have Flash and/or PDF files for use with Interactive White Boards and computers.
Support for teaching and assessment
The teachers’ notes for each activity provide:
• guidance on how to run the activity in the classroom.
• probing questions to help students to progress during the activity.
• a progression table showing stages of development through the task, across the various key processes.
• sample responses from students, illustrating elements of the progression table.
Bowland Maths: Assessment Tasks
Includes over thirty tasks designed to help assess students’ achievements and progression against key processes. To help with this assessment, each task contains sample work, and a 'progression table' showing how students’ work on the task can provide evidence of their progress with the four key processes: representing, analysing, communicating and reflecting.
These materials are also ideal for formative assessment that concentrates on providing the types of rich feedback that have been proven to help students improve their reasoning.
