Cluster finding 2.3: Contexts
Know how mathematics links to contexts beyond the classroom so it can be taught through rich, life-like activities.
Why we say this
We agree that teachers need a profound understanding of fundamental mathematics. When you teach through context you realise just how much more maths there is that we never learnt at school. It is important that context isn’t forced and students can make a connection between the mathematics and the contexts.
Significant episodes
A Significant Episode is an event, or a small series of linked events, that has impacted on educators professionally and has helped develop or change the way they teach and think about teaching.
