Oxford University Press have been working with Oracy Charity Voice 21 to develop the Talk for Maths benchmarks. These benchmarks aim to support schools in creating talk- rich maths lessons through defining excellent practice and providing top tips and a growing toolkit of support.
Join Louise Pennington, Head of Professional Development at Oxford University Press on 24th September at 4pm where she will look at:
What exploratory talk looks like in maths, and how talk and stories deepen understanding
How manipulatives can be used as a tool for talk
How and when to teach precise vocabulary
How oracy helps combat maths anxiety and help students confidence grow by harnessing errors
Everyone attending will get a copy of the Benchmarks and a free sample of Stories for Maths, a character driven maths themed programme specifically developed to utilise reading and talk in the teaching of maths concepts.
We end the week on a high note, as the winning drawing from our competition earlier this year is brought to life and we reveal our final Finn Finity mathscot!
We've rounded up this year's Maths Week Scotland events for schools in a handy, day-by-day overview. The programme is a mix of mix of both online and in-person events.
