To support teachers in developing more effective and more up-to-date ways of teaching, and a deeper understanding of mathematics and pedagogy, AIMSSEC provides both videos of teacher professional delopment workshops and also guides for self-help workshops and resources for activity based learning
For the self-help workshops you don’t need an expert leader or any advance […]
Click here for the GTEN workshop that follows the development of numeracy from tens and units and counting to 20 in Year 1 to place value, ordering and calculations with natural numbers and integers, critical thinking and decision making according to perceived probabilities.
Click here for the GTEN workshop video that follows the development of concepts of reflection, rotation and symmetry from looking at your own hands in Year 1, to observing both rotational and reflection symmetry in nature, making symmetric patterns by folding and cutting paper, solving puzzles involving symmetric patterns, then reflections in […]
Click here for the Algebrarea GTEN workshop video. It follows the development of concepts of rectangular arrays, multiplication and area, from playing with tiles and spotting patterns in Year 1, lining up in rows and columns, using place value and the concept of area to break down multiplication into easy calculations, […]
Click here for the GTEN workshop video with learning activities that follow the development of concepts from making shapes with elastic bands on geoboards in Year 1 to games involving squares, then jigsaw puzzles that enable learners to discover Pythagoras Theorem for themselves and later provide the basis for a rigorous […]
Click here for the Multiplication Tables to Functions GTEN workshop video. It follows the development of concepts of functions from clap counting in Year 1 to multipication tables, then to function box games, flow charts, reversing the flow and inverse functions, linear functions, combinations of functions then polynomial and other functions.

Click here for the Transformations and Symmetry GTEN workshop video. Systematic working is needed to find all solutions to the puzzles but all learners can find some of the solutions.
Investigate frieze patterns and look out for them in iron railings.
The Global Teacher Empowerment Network (GTEN) videos provide resources for […]
Click herefor the GTEN workshop with the theme of combining 3 numbers. The numbers used in the Checkit game can be chosen according to the age of the learners. To solve the Polycircles and Triangle Midpoints problems you solve the same simultaneous equations. Both problems can be generalised to higher dimensions.

Click here for the Paper Stick Mathematics GTEN workshop video. Make a metre measuring stick, take measurements and make scale drawings, solve puzzles making polyhedra and investigate the number of polygons that can be made using a given number of sticks.
The Global Teacher Empowerment Network (GTEN) videos provide resources for […]
Click here for the Belt Around the Earth GTEN workshop video. It features problems with some surprising results about the width of paths around 2D and 3D shapes when the perimeter of the outer edge of the path is a given amount more than the perimeter of the inner edge
