1. Bowland Maths Bowland Mathematics provides pupils and their teachers with interesting, exciting problems designed to develop the thinking, reasoning and problem solving skills required by the new Key Stage 3 curriculum in England. The five modules of the Bowland Maths professional development package cover the main pedagogical challenges in handling activities in the classroom that are involved in the type of investigative, non-routine problem solving found in the Bowland Case Studies.

3. Bowland Maths After a Bowland case study, the teacher asked her pupils What do you think of yourself and mathematics now that you have experienced this way of working mathematically? One pupil wrote: I used to HATE maths...Doing this project has increased my confidence a lot and I would love to do another project!! Using Bowland! I LOVE MATHS NOW. Its the best. I really wanted to be better at maths and doing this has made me really happy about it.

6. Stimulating demand latest portal statistics over 25,000 users including 9300 secondary teachers (3367 schools) including 7873 primary and EY teachers (17,504 schools) almost 3500 in the FE sector 1 April to 9 June 2008 49,000 visits, 271,000 pages 1 April to 9 June 2009 91,000 visits, 360,000 pages

7. Impact Events 1349 schools and colleges have sent 4327 staff to NCETM events & meetings over the past year from written evaluations, all attendees rate NCETM events as being Useful or Very Useful

8. the tipping point? interactions with ITE students risen tenfold Before April average of 12,000 per month currently 120,000 per month use of the Personal Learning Space (including the Self Evaluation Tools) Before April average of 11,000 interactions per month to currently 247,000 interactions per month The NCETM website is invaluable for maths teachers. It's always my first port of call for resources, advice and ideas

9. Inspiration: Objectives 2009 - 2011 Sara McCarthy- Fry MP Minister for London Schools It is important to help young people to get the maths bug early. The picture is improving but we would all need to work together to keep maths on that rising curve…. The creation of the NCETM is part of this upward drive ……
