Positive maths culture
This planning resource is for teachers who want to explore ways a positive maths culture can actively challenge stereotypes and support all students to see maths as a creative, inclusive field of study, and themselves as capable, engaged maths learners. View our 5 key steps to help develop a positive maths culture which includes: ‘Combat stereotypes’, ‘Support emotional regulation’, ‘Celebrate mistakes’, ‘Support reasoning and deep thinking’ and ‘Value student voice and collaboration’.
