This presentation explores some theory about memory and how we learn, and offers practical strategies for the classroom. This presentation is from a series of professional development workshops commissioned by the Derby Research School.

This presentation explores some theory about worked examples, and offers practical strategies and a range of worked example resources for the classroom. This presentation is from a series of professional development workshops commissioned by the Derby Research School.

This presentation is from the British Society for Research into the Learning of Mathematics Spring Day Conference 2022. The presentation explores a specific theoretical framework for teacher knowledge and how this framework underpinned the design of a professional development workgroup for a group of Early Career Teachers.

This presentation is from a workshop with Secondary school teachers and looks at some theory plus practical strategies for using representations and manipulaitves to support Secondary students’ learning. The workshop was commissioned by the Leicester School Development Support Agency.

This is a presentation from a workshop session at the Mastery Maths Conference in 2020. The workshop explored some theory and practical strategies for using carefully chosen representations and contexts to develop deeper understanding of concepts.

This is a presentation from a workshop session at the ATM Annual Conference in 2023. The workshop explored how Algebra tiles can help students access abstract mathematical ideas by making these ideas more concrete.

This presentation is from a workshop at the East Midlands East Maths Hub Primary Mathematics Conference. The workshop explored how and why specialised content knowledge is so important in mathematics teaching. The resources from this workshop were based on a Maths Hub specialist knowledge workgroup that I ran with a group of ECT’s.

This presentation explores Variation Learning Theory. This presentation is part of a series of workshops with Primary and Secondary teachers that explored selected research-led-teaching practices.

This presentation explores Realistic Mathematics Education theory and the ‘progressive formalisation of models’ principle. This presentation is part of a series of workshops with Primary and Secondary teachers that explored selected research-led-teaching practices.

This presentation explores how bar models can be used to represent and solve problems in different parts of the curriculum, including fractions, arithmetic, ratio, and percentages. The presentation is from a PD workshop with teachers from a Primary school.

This presentation explores how and why structure - lesson structure, bookwork structure, and boardwork structure - is important in Maths lessons. This presentation is from a PD workshop with a group of Primary school Teaching Assistants.

This presentation explores how and why bar models can be helpful for making sense of problems involving fractions. The presentation was used in a PD network with Secondary teachers.

This presentation explores key early Algebra concepts. The presentation was from a PD workshop with a group of Primary teachers and looked at key Algebra concepts for Year 6 students.

This presentation is from the British Society for Research in the Learning of Mathematics Spring day conference 2024. The presentation explores specific deign princples that underpin the Mathematical Literacy curriculum in South Africa.
