Reasoning and Problem-Solving in KS2 Mathematics

This course will show how mathematical reasoning can be weaved throughout the KS2 Maths Curriculum.

Training is accredited by NCETM.

We look at how learning can be broken down into small steps, and how practical and focused experiences  can be used to deepen all children’s conceptual understanding. We will look at how equipment, images and bar models can be used to model different KS2 maths concepts. A range of techniques for engaging all children in rich mathematical discussions will be shared, including the question structures used in ‘I See Reasoning’. We will also explore how opportunities can be provided for children to work at greater depth. Finally, a range of lesson examples and resources will be used to show an evidence-based approach for teaching problem-solving. Expect a highly practical, example-rich, thought-provoking day!

Course objectives:

• To break learning down into small steps and develop sequences of lessons that build deep understanding

• To make effective use of equipment and images to represent different mathematical concepts and ideas

• To enable all children to reason mathematically in daily maths lessons

• To coherently teach problem-solving strategies using visual representations and related example questions
