Promoting a research-informed mathematics teaching practice

About the KIMMT course The Key Ideas in Mentoring Mathematics Teachers (KIMMT) is offered as an online asynchronous professional development course. [...]as improved subject knowledge for teaching mathematics to 11-18 year old students is among the learning outcomes of this course, any mathematics teacher wishing to enrich their subject knowledge for teaching mathematics by engaging with relevant mathematics education research and by understanding how it can be applied to their own teaching practice will also benefit from the learning on this course. According to the findings of the Developing Great Teachers review (Cordingley et al., 2018), subject-specific continuous professional development that focuses on enhancing teachers' understanding of: the subjects they teach; how pupils learn in those subjects; and how to teach them, is more effective in terms of its impact on pupil outcomes, than generic pedagogic professional development courses. [...]the third activity Invariance models how to support students to progress in their geometric reasoning from 'because it looks like it' to producing convincing arguments for 'it always works'.
