This course will support teachers to:
- Develop confidence in selecting and using concrete and visual representations to reveal underlying mathematical structure and deepen conceptual understanding
- Strengthen their ability to move effectively between concrete, pictorial and abstract forms (CPA) to improve pupil reasoning, fluency and retention

Across the three half day sessions, participants will:
- Day 1 (Monday 1st February) – Basic Number: Explore representations for number, place value and operations using place value counters, dienes, two colour counters, arrays and area models.
- Day 2 (Wednesday 10th March) – Algebra: Develop understanding of algebraic structure through algebra tiles, bar models and the grid/area model for expressions, equations, expansion and factorisation.
- Day 3 (Tuesday 20th April) – Multiplicative Reasoning: Use bar models, double number lines and ratio tables to support proportional reasoning across fractions, ratio and percentages.

Special offer: Book a half day in February, March and April and receive 10% discount.

This year, instead of a fixed programme, we are offering Early Career Teachers and non-specialist teachers the opportunity to create a bespoke CPD pathway through a flexible ‘pick and mix’ model. You can select from a suite of carefully designed courses:

• Starting Strong in Secondary Mathematics: A practical course for new and non-specialist teachers (NUM242)
• Inclusive Practice in the Secondary Maths Classroom (NUM245)
• Maths Assessment: Tools and techniques for secondary maths teachers (NUM246)
• Seeing the Maths: Empowering Secondary Maths Teachers Through Representation and Structure (delivered as three half-day sessions) (NUM247)

Build the programme that best meets your needs and context, while benefiting from our ‘book more, save more’ offer: book multiple sessions and receive increasing discounts, starting at 10% and rising depending on the number of bookings. This approach gives you the flexibility to tailor high-quality professional development to your priorities, while making excellent value use of your CPD budget. The courses must be booked together in order to qualify for the discount.
