Welcome to our October Bulletin!
This month, we are celebrating ten years of the Maths Hubs Programme and have been reflecting on the impact it has on maths education across England. Over the past decade, the programme has impacted 4.7 million pupils with over 12,000 schools engaging in teaching for mastery.
The range of CPD opportunities has also grown significantly, increasing from 17 to 30 over the last 10 years. In this month's bulletin we share all of the opportunities you can apply for right now. These include professional development opportunities for early years teachers, primary teachers, teaching assistants and early career teachers.
We round off with a special new video from the NCETM celebrating Ten Years of the Maths Hub programme to showcase the best of the activity across the network.

The SKTM Early Years Teachers Programme is open to Teachers and Teaching Assistants working in EYFS, Subject Leaders wanting to learn more about mathematics in EYFS and teachers working in SEND settings.
There are two types of SKTM Early Years Pathways: Number and Spatial Reasoning. Participants will explore and increase their use of a range of pedagogic approaches that will support pupils in engaging with and developing their maths.
|
|
|
|
The SKTM Primary Teachers Programme is designed for teachers who would like to further develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths.
The Number Pathway is based on the five core primary modules - Policy and impact on practice, number sense, additive reasoning, multiplicative reasoning and fractions.
|
|
|
|
The Spatial Reasoning Pathway focusses on the importance of spatial reasoning, understanding the properties of shapes and developing geometric reasoning, enhancing opportunities for spatial reasoning and considering links between spatial reasoning and number/calculation.

|
The SKTM Primary Teaching Assistants Programme supports participants to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, to build on the primary maths National Curriculum, and to develop distinct pedagogical decision-making which will impact on their practice when supporting maths. This year, we’re excited to offer three cohorts: two face-to-face and one later-starting online cohort. To find out more and apply for this popular programme, follow the link below.
