Making connections - coordinate geometry with Rob Southern

Tuesday 21st May 2024, Online, 4-5pm

Bookings have now closed for this event- recording available- follow the link below

Since the introduction of a linear A level, curriculum coherence has become increasingly important. As teachers, we need to ensure that we allow our students to explore the links between different topics. This deepens their understanding and increases their versatility in problem-solving. In this talk, Rob will share ideas and resources for teaching coordinate geometry and suggest ways that we can link these ideas with other areas of the A level curriculum.

Rob has been teaching A level Maths and Further Maths since 2010. He is particularly interested in curriculum sequencing and teaching for understanding. He has recently co-authored a book "Teaching A Level Maths: content and pedagogy" with Susan Whitehouse. Rob works at Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury.

Why make 'space' for spatial reasoning?

 

a free online taster session on the 12th December 2023- 3.45-4.45pm- Bookings Now closed, recording available

 

 Come and join us for this short 'taster' session to discover more about what is meant by Spatial Reasoning (and why it doesn't just mean geometry). Spatial reasoning is important - for daily life, Mathematics and the wider curriculum - and research shows there is a positive correlation between spatial ability and mathematical ability - but often there is not a significant focus on spatial reasoning in the Mathematics curriculum. So come along, engage with some spatial thinking and find out a little more about how the two SKTM programmes offered by East Midlands South Maths hub (primary and early years) could support you in raising the profile of spatial reasoning in school.

“The relation between spatial ability and mathematics is so well established that it no longer makes sense to ask whether they are related.”
