INSET: Mathematics
National
Numeracy Strategy - Subject Content Issues This
course will provide participants with improved knowledge and
confidence in some key aspects of mathematics.
These will be determined from our own monitoring of the
Strategy in Northumberland, from nationally identified issues, and
from requests from schools.
Full details will be sent out nearer the time, but the course
is likely to include such aspects as intermediate written methods,
division, time etc.
Supply cover funding under the Numeracy Strategy can be used
for this course.
Teachers may attend either or both sessions as the content
for each will be different. 1.15

Numeracy Strategy - Inset Books 3 and 4 First,
middle and special Books
3 and 4 were those used for the third school based inset day in
Spring 2000.
All schools had to choose from those books and so the aim of
this course is to provide opportunities for teachers to catch up
with some missed aspects.
Special educational needs in numeracy is an example of a
likely topic. Supply
cover funding under the Numeracy Strategy can be used for this
course. RB264

middle and special This
course is designed to give practical ideas for teachers in
developing oral and mental starters.
Participants will be able to observe a numeracy consultant
working with groups of pupils from reception to year 6, and discuss
those observations with the consultant and with each other.
Supply
cover funding under the Numeracy Strategy can be used for this
course. RB265

Up with the Numeracy Strategy First,
middle and special This
course is for supply or returning teachers who have had no training
for the Numeracy Strategy or who feel they would like additional
help to get up to speed.
It will aim, in one day, to help teachers feel confident
about what is expected from them in planning and teaching numeracy. RB266

This allocation can only be used for this purpose, and can only be used in the second half of the day (which is why most courses are being put on at that time). The allocation can of course be used alongside other sources of funding to enable teachers to attend training. Courses eligible under this specific allocation are identified under the course notes. Primary
Science and Numeracy Links Key
Stages 1 and 2 This
course will be lead by Rosemary Feasey the recent chair of the
Association for Science Education and draw on the research she did
for her book published in January 2000.
It will help teachers to identify opportunities to develop
numeracy skills, particularly data handling within the context of
science investigations.
More details will be available in the new year.
There will be an opportunity to purchase discounted copies of
Rosemary’s book. This
session can ideally be combined with the morning session on science
and literacy. TM241
