CanDoMaths Professional Development

During these unprecedented times, we are continuing our support for teachers of mathematics with our latest addition....

the CanDoMaths Professional Development (CPD) Portal...

Giving you full access to over 70 CanDoMaths Online PD Sessions*. 
Pay once, not per session.

The PD Sessions are perfect to support teacher and TA CPD.

*A List of all the available PD Sessions can be found here.
Even more sessions will be added over the coming weeks.

CanDoMaths Club Members already have access to these sessions 
(Your Subject Expertise Videos).

Our PD Sessions have been put together by Liz Hopkins and Steve Lomax, two very experienced maths professionals - with over 60 years of (combined) experience! 

Each PD Session involves Steve and Liz discussing a mathematical concept from the National Curriculum. They model the use of concrete resources, iconic models/images, key vocabulary and stem sentences essential in ensuring all children secure and deepen their understanding.

  • FAST: Unlimited, immediate access.
  • FLEXIBLE: Available for either individuals or the whole school.
  • EASY: Each session is 'bite-sized'... so you can fit it around your family and school commitments.
  • ​​ON DEMAND: Watch whenever and wherever you want.
  • SORTED: Organised by Year Group and National Curriculum Strand so that you can easily find the session relevant to you.
  • AFFORDABLE: One small payment gives you access to all your sessions - no need to pay per session.

Here's a little sample for you...

Who are CanDoMaths?

Co-founded by Dave Bowman, Steve Lomax and Liz Hopkins, the CanDoMaths team 
believe that everyone CanDoMaths!

There are 3 core principles behind the CanDoMaths philosophy:

Teaching for Understanding

Teaching that focuses on developing secure and deep understanding, including the use of practical resources and iconic representations supports the learning and memorisation of mathematical concepts. The teaching of 'rules' and 'tricks' with no understanding and the use of only ‘standard’ examples contribute to learners feeling they 'can't do' maths.

Belief

All learners need to believe they can succeed and also believe that their teacher, and parents, believe they can succeed. Adopting a growth mindset is at the heart of a 'Can Do Maths’ approach including the use of 'yet’ and knowing that making mistakes is an essential part of learning. Parents, teachers and the media thinking it's acceptable to use phrases such as 'Don't worry, I can't do maths', 'Maths is too hard', etc all contribute to learners feeling that they 'can't do' maths.

Hard Work

Success comes from hard work. It's as simple as that! Mathematics can be difficult at times but success can be achieved through hard work. Check out the thoughts of Adam Peaty and of Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge from the Rio Olympics.
