Maths Discovery Day, University of Greenwich - Thursday 5th July
The Maths Discovery Day with the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Greenwich offers exciting hands-on mathematical activities for parties of secondary school students (ideal for years 9 and upward). There will be workshops by Rob Eastaway (topic to be confirmed) and Aoife Hunt (on the maths of crowds), a Mathematical Treasure Hunt, and displays of interactive exhibits. Explore chaos, solve the Travelling Salesman Problem and use bubbles to investigate the mathematics of surfaces! The event is open from 9:30am to 3pm.

Teaching for Mastery Video
Over the past year or so, there have been scores of events, led and co-led by the NCETM, where teachers have come to hear more about teaching for mastery, and compare notes with other teachers. A new short video reporting on one such event, organised jointly by the East Cheshire Association of Primary Heads (ECAPH) and the North West Two Maths Hub, is now available.

Research opportunities
TALIS Video Study - Study led by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
On behalf of DfE, Education Development Trust, in partnership with Oxford University, is running an exciting research project on teaching practices in mathematics. The TALIS Video Study is an innovative international comparative study led by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). England is one of nine countries participating in this prestigious research which will provide insight into the variety of maths teaching practices being used in secondary school classrooms across all nine countries. The findings will help us to understand the relationship between teaching practices and pupil and teacher perceptions of maths in England, and internationally. The study is also an exciting opportunity to develop, at scale, the use of video observation to explore effective teaching and support continuing professional development. Further details on this innovative study can be found on the Education Development Trust website in the article ‘Watch Teaching and Learn More’

EEF Research Opportunities
EEF are providing opportunities for schools to get involved in research projects. There is a window for applications until 9 DECEMBER and they are looking for evidence-based ideas that focus on:
We want to hear from schools who are looking to try out innovations of teaching and learning practices. Sometimes these are approaches that teachers have developed themselves, sometimes these may be adaptations of approaches that have been proven to work elsewhere, which teachers have altered to suit the needs of their students. The amount of funding per project will vary depending on length, the cost and intensity of the intervention, the number of schools and groups involved (you might want to work within your MAT for example). The maximum amount that can be requested is £5,000 per school participating (with a maximum of £20,000 per project). More information will be coming out in the next newsletter, but do get thinking in the meanwhile!
EEF are providing opportunities for schools to get involved in research projects. There is a window for applications until 9 DECEMBER and they are looking for evidence-based ideas that focus on:
- Secondary school subject teaching. EEF receive relatively few applications about improving subject-specific teaching and attainment in secondary schools up to GCSE so if you are/are planning to develop a subject area as many people in schools may be if carrying out action research, this may be of interest.
- Interventions that aim to improve how teachers mark pupils’ work. Following the publication of the EEF review of the evidence about marking, A Marked Improvement proposals are invited that focus on improving the quality and impact of written marking.
