3. In between face-to-face days …
Don’t forget

4. Day 2 – 19 March 2014
Welcome Working on a mathematical task together Tackling a task and reflecting on it in terms of subject knowledge and pedagogy Break Feedback and reflection on tasks tried in school Working on another mathematical task together Tackling a task and reflecting on it in terms of subject knowledge and pedagogy Pupil questionnaires Collecting completed questionnaires and discussing content Lunch Subject audit Taking in ‘scores’ and a chance to share thoughts Curriculum priorities and curriculum development work In pairs, planning for at least one task back at school Working on another mathematical task together Reflection

5. Common themes from mathematical needs identified on day 1
