Perhaps you are curious… or even sceptical? This is your chance to have a go at a few hands-on tasks to teach deeper understanding addition and subtraction of positive and negative integers. If you are interested in encouraging mathematical talk, reasoning, deeper understanding and daily practice in a hands-on visual method, then this session is for you. You truly have to see it to believe it. You will be amazed at how this tool can be the mess-free answer for children developing deeper understanding of number sense while naturally engaging in rich mathematical talk. Join in on this introductory rekenrek workshop and hopefully you too will be singing the praises of this simple tool.

Students usually start Year 12 with some knowledge of graphical transformations, but they often do not understand why they work. In this session, we will explore:

• How to introduce graphical transformations and ensure understanding.
• When to use transformations to help sketch graphs (and when not to!)
• How an understanding of graphical transformations can support learning in other topics.

This session is aimed at anyone teaching or looking to teach A level Maths. Be prepared to do lots of Maths in the session. I will be bringing the A3 whiteboards!

We love teaching Pythagoras! It's accessible, challenging, engaging, memorable and important. What a topic. In this workshop we'll look at loads of cool tasks and ideas for teaching Pythagoras' Theorem.

During this workshop we will examine some concepts that span school-level maths and explore how we can structure them coherently through a curriculum. We will think about the pre-requisite knowledge that pupils will require as well as what we will want pupils to learn and do at each stage. Delegates will have the chance to discuss and develop ideas together that they can take back into their curriculum and lesson planning.

The majority of students who have SEND and SEMH needs also have Educational Health Care Plans (EHCP). One of the findings which came up in an independent visitation of the college I teach in was to ensure that outcomes on student EHCP plans were addressed in lesson planning and lesson delivery. This session creatively explores how teachers, teaching assistants and SENCOs can ensure that students meet their EHCP outcomes in Maths. Additionally, we will cover how to record progression within recording evidence too.

By teaching with a tablet (or phone) from anywhere in the room, you're freed from the whiteboard at the front of your class.

I'll show you how to use a free online infinite whiteboard (https://www.mathsuniverse.com/infinity - created by me) to get between the desks and edit your lessons as you go.

This session is aimed at those who like to explore new possibilities with technologies, and particularly those frustrated by the shortcomings of PowerPoint, OneNote, ActiveInspire or SMART Notebook.

Be prepared to get involved. Ideally bring a phone tablet, laptop... or all three.
