Ban har returns for his 11th year to deliver his most popular course. The focus of thist wo-day workshop-style conference is Singapore’s problem solving approach to mathematical instruction, which reflects the pedagogy of Curriculum for Wales, 2022. 

Through a series of interactive tasks, learn about Singapore’s evidenced based, highly effective and league topping approach to teaching maths. Through exposition, Professor Yeap Ban Har brings mathematical  theories to life and bridges thinking between the concrete, the  pictorial and the abstract concepts of mathematics – Bruner’s  Concrete – Pictorial – Abstract (CPA) approach.

Develop mathematical behaviours and thinking in your pupils by using the CPA approach, and applying them to authentic learning contexts that engage and enhance the pupils understanding of Maths in real life learning experiences.
