- get more knowledge on how to use an evidence-based approach to teaching maths; - discover new ways how to helps pupils develop a deep, long-term and adaptable understanding of maths; - adopt an inclusive approach where all children achieve, not only the high achievers who come from an adequate socioeconomic background; - implement programs which allow teachers to progress at a slower pace - teachers are aware that results in greater progress but schools might need further insight into these approaches; - understand and compare the outcomes presented in these programs vis-a-vis the national curriculum and the syllabi - to better understand not only what the New Learning Outcomes Framework entails but also explore ways how to implement it
Participating schools have noticed the love for the subject diminishes as the students get older and are worried about the fact that exams may have an influencing fact over this phenomenon. Furthermore, it is being noted that unfortunately, the teaching has become more textbook-based and somewhat mechanical. Hence, the need of this project is for the schools to encourage the teachers to: i) implement more practical activities and group work. ii) invite people from outside into school including parents. iii) engage teachers in activities that help students to find out what prior knowledge students already had of a topic before teaching it iv) teachers need to engage actively with students' existing capabilities. v)contextualized learning would help students to connect concepts with things they were familiar with. vi) tasks that foster a stronger sense of ownership that would then promote their growing sense of independence and maturity. vii) promote more collaborative learning that in turn would promote greater discussion and work together on shared tasks.
