A Deeper Dive into Variation in Mathematics
Summary
These sessions will explore how variation can deepen learning in primary mathematics by using both procedural and conceptual variation to help pupils see relationships, make connections and understand mathematical structure. The sessions will focus on how to deliberately draw attention to the critical aspects of mathematical structure, enabling pupils to move beyond following procedures towards recognising patterns, making generalisations and developing a more connected understanding of mathematics.
These three half day sessions will aim to:
- Explore how carefully varied examples, representations and questions can support pupils to notice important mathematical relationships and develop deeper learning
- Consider how deliberate choices about examples and variation can reveal mathematical structure and support pupils in making generalisations
- Engage with and plan rich mathematical tasks that promote depth of understanding
