📚 What happens when you start again?

After five years in mathematics department leadership, including two and a half years as Head of Department, moving to a new school created an unexpected opportunity: to reflect on what I thought I knew about departmental leadership and discover which lessons really transferred to a new context.

This workshop will share stories, successes, mistakes, and lessons learnt from leading mathematics in two different schools.

Together, we’ll explore:
✅ Building trust and relationships
✅ Understanding a new school’s context
✅ Deciding what to change — and what not to
✅ Adapting leadership approaches to a new environment
✅ Finding your feet when you have to start again

Whether you’re an experienced maths leader, new to departmental leadership, or considering your next step, this session offers an honest opportunity to reflect on the realities of leading mathematics in different contexts.

🧩 How can we make problem-solving an integral part of everyday maths lessons?

Problem-solving is an essential part of mathematics, but embedding it consistently into classroom practice can be difficult.

Teachers often face practical challenges: finding appropriate tasks, deciding what prior knowledge students need, and making meaningful connections between problems and existing schemes of work.

This workshop focuses on practical approaches that can make problem-solving easier to embed across the curriculum.

During the session, we’ll explore two approaches:

✅ Curriculum-mapped questions — connecting problem-solving directly to the mathematical content students are learning
✅ Longer investigations — giving students opportunities to explore, reason, make connections, and develop their problem-solving skills over time

But this won’t be a presentation where you simply sit and listen.

📚 You’ll be part of the workshop.

Using resources provided during the session, you’ll engage with a range of problem-solving tasks, consider the mathematical thinking they develop, and explore how they could work within your own curriculum.

You’ll leave with practical ideas, useful resources, and approaches that can help make problem-solving a more natural and regular part of your maths teaching.

🤖 How does A-Level Mathematics provide the foundations for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning?

Artificial Intelligence can sometimes feel like a world away from the mathematics classroom. But many of the mathematical ideas behind today’s AI technologies are rooted in concepts students encounter throughout their A-Level Mathematics journey.

This engaging session will explore the connections between familiar A-Level topics and the mathematics that underpins AI algorithms and machine learning.

During the session, you’ll:
✅ Explore the mathematical foundations behind AI and machine learning
✅ Make connections between familiar A-Level Maths topics and real-world AI
✅ Discover how mathematical concepts are used to develop and understand AI algorithms
✅ See how the mathematics students learn today can be applied to emerging technologies
✅ Consider ways to bring these connections to life for students

From the mathematics classroom to the rapidly developing world of artificial intelligence, this session will demonstrate how powerful and relevant mathematical thinking can be.

Whether you’re looking to inspire A-Level students, deepen your own understanding, or explore new ways to connect mathematics with the world beyond school, this session will offer plenty to think about.

🧠 Come and discover the mathematics behind the machines — and show students where their A-Level Maths can take them.

📚 Something strange happens to our brightest Year 7 mathematicians — and it’s not what you’d expect.

Pupils in England perform strongly in maths at primary school, but by Year 9, progress stalls. Most strikingly, many disadvantaged pupils who were top attainers at primary school do not go on to achieve a grade 7 or higher at GCSE.

So, what changes?

A survey of 2,000 pupils and parents across Years 6–9 reveals a surprising shift. High-attaining pupils become significantly more negative about maths when they start Year 7 — they are twice as likely to describe maths as boring, less likely to say it’s fun, and considerably more stressed.

Meanwhile, the opposite happens for lower-attaining pupils.

In this session, we’ll explore the data, debate the possible reasons behind this paradox, and test our theories against what pupils and parents actually told us.

🔎 You’ll leave with:
✅ A clearer understanding of what changes for high-attaining mathematicians
✅ Insights from pupils and parents
✅ Evidence-based ideas for supporting our brightest mathematicians
✅ Practical approaches to protecting confidence, enjoyment, and progress through the transition to secondary school

Join us to explore what happens to our most promising mathematicians — and what we can do about it.

📚 Navigating the Year 6 to Year 7 Maths Transition

How can we ensure the move from KS2 to KS3 feels like a natural continuation of pupils’ mathematical learning rather than a sudden change?

This engaging session explores the transition from Year 6 to Year 7, looking closely at what pupils experience at KS2 — the concrete resources they use, the mathematical language they hear, and the conceptual foundations they develop.

During the session, we’ll:
✅ Explore the pitch and expectations of the KS2 curriculum and SATs
✅ Unpack the pedagogy and approaches pupils are familiar with
✅ Consider the role of concrete resources and mathematical language
✅ Reflect on the experiences pupils bring with them into Year 7
✅ Discuss how KS3 teachers can build on prior learning rather than starting again
✅ Explore ways to make maths feel familiar, accessible, and inspiring

By developing a greater awareness of pupils’ prior experiences, we can help sustain their confidence, strengthen mathematical understanding, and create a smoother trajectory as they move into secondary mathematics.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion about how we can make the Year 6 to Year 7 transition a positive step forward in every pupil’s mathematical journey.
