✨ The Problem with Problem-Solving
Led by Rob Eastaway (@robeastaway)

We all agree students need stronger problem-solving skills—but what if the real problem lies in the problems themselves? Too often, school word problems fail to engage students or foster the strategies needed for authentic problem-solving in the real world.
In this session, Rob Eastaway will uncover why many traditional problems fall short and share alternatives that spark curiosity, invite exploration, and make students want to solve them.

✨ What you’ll take away:
✅ Insights into why many standard word problems don’t work
✅ A bank of engaging problems that promote genuine problem-solving skills
✅ Strategies for designing or selecting problems that provoke curiosity
✅ A fresh perspective on what meaningful problem-solving looks like in the classroom
Leave inspired with new ways to bring problem-solving to life—and tasks that truly get students thinking.

✨ What is Number Sense and How Do I Teach It?
Led by Jo Austen (@mathswithin10)

Number sense is at the heart of confident maths learning, yet it can sometimes feel tricky to define—or to know how best to develop in the classroom. This session will explore what number sense really is, why it matters, and how we can nurture it in learners of all ages.

✨ What you’ll take away:
✅ A clear understanding of what number sense means and why it’s so important
✅ Practical games, activities, and routines to build number sense in the classroom
✅ Strategies for supporting pupils with larger numbers, decimals, and negatives
✅ Ready-to-use ideas to help pupils develop flexibility, fluency, and confidence with numbers
Walk away with the knowledge and tools to make number sense a natural and integral part of your maths teaching.

✨ Always, Sometimes or Never
with Ruth Bull & Priya Shah

Is it always, sometimes, or never true? This hands-on workshop invites participants to explore rich mathematical statements through reasoning, discussion, and problem-solving.
You’ll see how these tasks can be adapted for whole-class teaching, small groups, 1:1 interventions, or even CPD with colleagues. Along the way, we’ll highlight how manipulatives and guided questioning can support deep understanding and engagement.

✨ What you’ll take away:
✅ A bank of engaging “Always, Sometimes, Never” statements to use in your setting
✅ Practical strategies for scaffolding and extending mathematical reasoning
✅ Ideas for integrating manipulatives to deepen understanding
✅ Flexible ways to adapt the approach for lessons, interventions, or professional development
Leave with versatile tools to spark curiosity, discussion, and deeper problem-solving in your maths teaching.
