(Previously called 'Teaching for Understanding Stage4 Course2') This workshop is a detailed examination of a quality teaching approach within Stage 4 Maths. The basis to teaching conceptually lies in enabling students to become engaged, work mathematically and to make the connections necessary for conceptual understanding to occur. Open-ended questioning, assessment for learning and inquiry-based teaching are key strategies which will be demonstrated through the topics Measurement, Pythagoras, Space and Geometry, Data and Directed Number. During the Pythagoras and Space- Geometry sections the free dynamic software 'GeoGebra' will be used to bring these topic 'alive'. Participants will receive numerous GeoGebra files ready for immediately implementation in the classroom.

Please bring a pen and note paper and if possible a USB stick. Also a calculator would be beneficial, but not essential.
