Participants will explore a set of core representations that can be utilised to assist in the understanding of abstract ideas, drawing explicit links to new content and core mathematical structures.

This course will consider when a particular representation is appropriate and how its utilisation can transform pupils’ knowledge and capabilities. Participants will explore how guides, scaffolds and worked examples can assist all pupils to understand and apply new ideas and how these can be gradually removed as pupils’ understanding increases.

Participants will leave with an understanding of available physical and online resources to support implementing the strategies discussed together.
