HUB HAPPENINGS! - Sussex Maths Hub
HAPPY NEW
YEAR 2021
A MESSAGE FROM JO STEDMAN
MATHS HUB LEAD
SUSSEX MATHS HUB

To all my colleagues in Sussex and beyond, I wish you a very
happy new year.

This term is already shaping up to be one of the most
challenging experiences that we as teachers have faced in our
careers. We're learning new technology on the fly, supporting
students both in school and out, and many of us are also trying
to balance this with schooling our own children too.

I wanted to say thank you to you, one and all. The dedication,
perseverance and sheer strength of will that I've seen among my
colleagues over the past few weeks has been incredible. From
SLT to NQT, from TAs to office staff, the collective drive to support
our students, and each other!, has been an inspiration.

Maths Hub continue to support our wider community, with
flexibility being key across all our Work Groups. There's been a
shift in focus to support our colleagues with Online Learning, and
links to our recent Webinars on Remote Teaching can be found
in this newsletter.

As always, we're here to help and support when you need us.

Stay Safe

Jo

                                                                            www.iseemaths.com

Would you like to develop your skill set with teaching maths remotely? Are you keen to
really engage your pupils with remote lessons that develop their reasoning and
problem solving? If so, look no further because the Sussex Maths Hub would like to
invite you to their next free webinar!

We are thrilled to welcome our guest host Gareth Metcalfe, the highly regarded mathematician, author of
the fantastic 'I See Reasoning' and 'I See Problem Solving' e-books and creator of the inspirational website ‘I
See Maths’.

Gareth, an NCETM accredited PD lead, has produced a wealth of materials to support primary
mathematics and is excited to support teachers with the challenges they face teaching high quality maths
remotely.

In this session, a range of techniques will be shared for building reasoning and problem-solving into
remote learning activities. We will look at questions that allow children to spot patterns and find different
possible answers. Then, we will see how challenges can be adapted, extended and explored in different
ways. This will deepen thinking for all children and allow for creative, unique responses. An exciting vision
for remote maths learning!

Our Sussex Maths Hub Team will also be on hand to field questions and foster a spirit of true collaboration.
Our last webinar on remote learning was very positively received with participants commenting:

   "Thank you. This was brilliant and very useful!"
   "Very useful. Thank you so much!"
   "Thank you! Lots of brilliant ideas and helpful resources."
    "Lots to go away and think about/share."

So, don't delay...book your place now, pull up a chair, pour a cup of tea and get ready to be inspired!

                              MASTERY SPECIALISTS PROGRAMME
      Mastery Specialists are classroom practitioners who develop expertise in the
    mastery approach to teaching maths. Through rigorous and interactive training,
                   they become experts in introducing and embedding mastery.

   After first developing a mastery approach in their own classrooms, they go on to
                                 support colleagues in their own and other schools.

     There are now hundreds of Mastery Specialists across the country, working with
                                                             thousands of schools.
