Big Ideas in Maths


How do we communicate mathematics to our pupils? What models and metaphors can we offer to make our mathematics become the students’ personalised awareness of mathematics?

In this course, we will explore some ‘big ideas’ in mathematics that permeate our curricula and how we should carefully plan and give attention to the communication of the technical detail.
