The West Midlands Teacher Network Meeting - 5th July 2017 Where? - University of Wolverhampton, Walsall Campus
WS1 3BD, in Room WN205.
Time? - 2pm - 5pm (buffet lunch available from 1.30pm)

Title: Problem Solving and Modelling in the new Mathematics A Levels.
Presenter: Richard Lissaman

What it's about? -
Modelling is about starting with a real life situation, making assumptions to simplify it and deciding what features are important in order that mathematics can be applied to provide some useful information.
Problem-solving is about working through situations which are not immediately recognisable as a version of a scenario already familiar to you. Both of these skills can be challenging for students. Supporting students to develop these skills can also be challenging. This session will consider some practical approaches for this and hopefully provide ideas to take back to the classroom.

The Further Mathematics Support Programme

We know that many teachers still have questions about the new A Level.
With this in mind the Further Mathematics Support Programme are running a number of 2017 A level Mathematics: Professional Development courses throughout November and December 2016. More details about these course can be found here http://www.furthermaths.org.uk/2017-cpd.
This includes the locations and dates of the courses, there are 5 taking places in the West Midlands.

The Further Mathematics Support Programme The FMSP will be providing a range of professional development courses and events to support teachers preparing for and teaching the new linear specifications

The West Midlands Teacher Network will be running again this academic year
We intend to hold one meeting per term, as we did last year. If there is a particular topic you would like us to look at during one of the meetings please let us know and we will see what we can do.
Details for the Autumn term meeting will be available soon.
