This session has been designed to explore how to best use ClassWiz+ family of scientific calculators in the GCSE mathematics classroom efficiently and effectively.

We will demonstrate how to get the most out of them when answering questions and is suitable for all teachers interested in improving student use of handheld technology.

We will explore GCSE Foundation Tier with the fx-83/85 GT CW+ and GCSE Higher Tier with the more capable fx-991 CW+ UK handset, although it is suitable for both GCSE Further and Core Maths.

The session will provide teachers the opportunity to gain a better hands-on understanding of the calculator and will demonstrate common question types.

No experience of scientific handsets is required and handsets will be provided for use during the session.

Questions are encouraged and there will be a dedicated general Q&A at the end of the session.

This session has been designed as an introduction to the advantages of using the fx-CG100 Graphing calculator in the classroom and is suitable for all teachers interested in improving student use of handheld technology.

We will be focusing on meeting the needs of teaching, learning and assessment for A Level Mathematics, although the handset is suitable for both GCSE and Further Maths.

The session will provide teachers the opportunity to gain a better hands-on understanding of the calculator and will demonstrate topics such as numerical, graphical and statistical analysis.

No experience of using graphing handsets is required and handsets will be provided for use during the session. Questions are encouraged and there will be a dedicated general Q&A at the end of the session.

This workshop will explore simple, time-efficient strategies that can be embedded quickly and easily into A Level Maths lessons, helping students develop deeper mathematical thinking and improve their learning outcomes.

The session will include:
Practical approaches to developing students' problem-solving skills
Effective feedback techniques that support progress without increasing workload
Classroom-ready ideas and resources
Opportunities to discuss challenges and share successful practice
Collaborative professional dialogue with other A Level Maths teachers
Whether you are new to teaching A Level Mathematics or an experienced practitioner, this session will provide valuable insights and strategies that can be implemented immediately.

In this session, maths communicator and ex-teacher Zoe Griffiths will take teachers on a tour of her favourite surprising mathematical moments, showcasing how these nuggets of mathematical joy can be used to hook students into particular curriculum topics, from number topics to probability and shape topics.

The session will give teachers ideas (and access to electronic resources) for the classroom, and will also refresh teachers' own enthusiasm for maths (an excitement they can bring back to their schools).

The workshop will help teachers understand how AI is built upon mathematics and how it could be further applied to Machine Learning and Data Science. It can be used by teachers to help inspire their KS5 students beyond the classroom in topics such as calculus, linear algebra and probability.

What happens when your highest-attaining students finish quickly and start to see maths as easy? Drawing on school-based evidence, this workshop will share effective strategies for maintaining challenge and engagement in mixed-attainment classes. Discover low-preparation approaches that encourage deeper mathematical thinking, independence and enjoyment, helping students flourish while allowing teachers to provide support where it is most needed.

It's Not Just About the Topic... It's About the Connection

Many GCSE revision programmes still treat mathematics as a series of isolated topics. But success at GCSE depends on far more than remembering individual methods – it relies on recognising the connections between them.

This workshop explores a practical approach to revision for Foundation and crossover students (Grades 4–6), using carefully chosen core concepts that naturally interweave multiple areas of the GCSE curriculum. Rather than revising topics in isolation, we'll look at how developing connected mathematical thinking can improve retention, strengthen problem-solving and build the confidence students need to tackle unfamiliar questions.

You'll leave with classroom-ready strategies, revision activities and examples that can be implemented immediately, helping students make meaningful links across the curriculum while maximising the impact of every revision lesson.

Whether you're teaching a Foundation class, supporting crossover students or looking to refresh your GCSE revision programme, this session will provide practical ideas that help students see mathematics as one connected subject - not a checklist of topics.

This workshop is designed for trainee teachers, early careers teachers or more established teachers with an interest in an introductory, exploratory lesson on box plots - without actually drawing any box plots.

This approach supports a concrete, pictorial and abstract (CPA) model to develop skill and confidence in working out quartiles (including the median) from a list.   

We look at how we can use blank cards, mini-whiteboards, procedural and problem-solving questions to build and strengthen key prior knowledge, leading up to the follow-up lesson on 'Constructing box plots'.
