Children Thinking Mathematically
(DCSF).
Chapter 3 of the final report of the
Williams Maths Review (DCSF, 2008) featured our work on
children’s mathematical graphics and made
a
number of
recommendations for those
working in this phase and recommended that the DCSF commission
materials on children’s mathematical graphics and
mathematical development.
The DCSF commissioned Elizabeth Carruthers and Maulfry
Worthington to write this new publication (with the exception of
pages 47-50 from the DCSF, PSRN website). Chapter 3 of the
booklet focuses on children’s mathematical graphics and
there are further examples threaded throughout. |

Researching
Effective CPD for Mathematics Education (RECME) This 2-year,
nationally funded project is the largest UK research project
into CPD in Mathematics Education to date. It is led by Project
Director Dr. Els De Geest, and supported by the National Centre
for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics.
We are delighted that our CPD
initiative - local Children’s Mathematics Network groups
- is featured in the final report (with a focus on the Bristol
CMN group) as one of six successful CPD initiatives.

DCSF: Mark Making
Matters: ‘The booklet also explores how an improved
understanding of the importance of mark making can strengthen
provision for CLL and PSRN. It will illustrate how children's
confidence in themselves as writers and as mathematical
thinkers, can be promoted through the introduction of children's
mathematical graphics’,
