What does the CfW framework mean to you as a school and how does this guide practice in the teaching and learning of Maths? Ban Har will look at the CfW documentation, explore what this actually means in idealogical thinking but more importantly, what this could like in practice. Ban har will give examples of how Singapore turned its fortunes around in the teaching and learning of Maths to be the world leader it is today.
Singapore’s educational story is both impressive and inspiring. As the highest-ranking country for mathematics overall, we explore how Singapore’s children perform at the top. Not only this, Singaporean children are in the top OECD ranked nations for ‘Engagement and Selfbelief’. The PISA results speak for themselves.
The methodology and pedagogy in Singapore is not what we might assume. No rote learning, no procedural rehearsal, just excellent teaching based on the work of Jerome Bruner, Vygotsky, Zoltan Dienes, Skemp, and Howard Gardner. It follows the C.P.A. approach and through a series of hands-on challenges linked to evidenced-based theory, the world of ‘problem solving’ simply opens up.
Ban Har will help guide schools develop their own rationale and thinking towards a Maths curriculum that reflects teaching the core concepts of mathematics in achieving high standards and mathematical competency for all, adhering to the vision of CfW as well as addressing Welsh Governments Maths and Numeracy Plan 2023. This is a must for all schools in Wales.
Target Audience – Headteachers, Curriculum Leader, Maths coordinator, Maths Lead, Teachers.
