Why 'Principled' Maths?
1) I believe society and organisations function more effectively when we share positive values/principles.
2) Having undertaken Mastery CPD through various organisations over the years, I believe the teaching & learning of maths can be made more impactful through well-researched and effective pedagogies. These principles guide my planning, teaching and assessing.
This website is essentially the best bits of my organised google drive.
Hopefully you find some of these things useful and please do share with your colleagues and pupils :)
