In this episode, we are discussing project work in maths lessons. What are the benefits? How can you facilitate a successful project-based lesson in maths and what kinds of skills do projects teach?
Our host today is Arifah Khan, Commissioning Editor for our Mathematics titles. She is joined by two special guests with ties to NRICH. NRICH is an innovative collaboration between the Faculties of Mathematics and Education at the University of Cambridge which focuses on problem solving and on creating opportunities for students to learn mathematics through exploration and discussion.
Alison Kiddle is a freelance mathematics education consultant, having previously worked for NRICH as Key Stage 4 coordinator. Charlie Gilderdale is the Secondary Coordinator at NRICH.
