Maths and Numeracy Portal Insight

Introducing Julia Smith

Our maths and numeracy portal manager is Julia Smith, a practising maths teacher with a wealth of experience in the classroom. She is also a teacher trainer in the East of England.

This portal aims to bring you materials that may be useful to your teaching, highlighting proven resources that really work in the classroom.

I want to draw your attention to conferences, courses and competitions as well as showing you ways in which you can adapt and use ideas from other sectors that you may not have previously considered.
