Six professional development units designed for ITE tutors to use with primary trainee teachers exploring maths

We have created six professional development units designed for ITE tutors to use with primary trainee teachers when exploring how to teach maths. The first unit introduces trainee teachers to the principles of teaching for mastery, and the other units introduce the Five Big Ideas.

Each unit includes PowerPoint slides, comprehensive session notes and a handout. These resources allow an ITE tutor to run six full sessions on the ideas behind teaching for mastery, aimed at a novice audience. The structure of the units enables trainees to explore concepts and principles for themselves, as well as providing suggestions for next steps and devising their own lesson activities.

For more information about teaching for mastery in a primary context, read our Case Studies, and explore our exemplification in Mastery Explained.
