In this webinar, Dr Alison Borthwick(opens in a new tab) - International Education & Mathematics Adviser, will share take us on a learning walk focusing on Primary Maths education. A learning walk in primary math education is an observational strategy where educators, administrators, or peers visit classrooms to observe and assess the teaching and learning process in mathematics.
During these structured walks, participants focus on specific aspects such as instructional methods, student engagement, and the use of math manipulatives. The goal is to gain insights into teaching practices, identify areas of improvement, and share best practices among educators. Learning walks promote professional development, collaboration, and the continuous improvement of math instruction, ultimately enhancing the quality of primary math education to benefit students' understanding and performance in mathematics.
This webinar is suitable for Maths teachers, leaders, tutors, early careers, homeschooling parents or long-term magicians: KS1 and KS2 maths.
