This is an exciting and innovative ICT based resource created to support those teaching mathematics in primary schools. It has been designed to:
- support early professional development of trainee teachers, NQTs and others new to primary teaching;
- develop understanding of high quality teaching and learning and of how to plan effectively for the teaching of mathematics within the context of the primary curriculum;
- ensure understanding of key messages related to learning and teaching associated with the Primary National Strategy, and the ability to work productively with Strategy materials.
