Thinking Deeply about Primary Mathematics: Depth and Challenge

Course
35 Lessons

The terms Depth and Challenge are thrown around in education circles as if they were widely understood by even the most inexperienced of teachers. And yet this is, sadly, not the case. Teachers, leaders and schools are all held to account for something that is very rarely described and never articulated well. This course aims to set that straight by providing clear, concise and coherent guidance with regards to the provision of a mathematics education that is both deep and challenging for all.
