"Test the boundaries of a concept, see where it falls apart."
@EmathsUK is currently delivering a compelling session around meaning in mathematics. Our Scholars are hooked, trying to figure out what "smub" means!
"Checking for prior knowledge is an absolute no-brainer."

#LearningAtWorkWeek is here - and teacher CPD in the workplace has never been more important.
The FTS Programme supports talented maths & physics teachers with unique training and development opportunities, which has led to higher than national average levels of retention.
Did you know that 56% of our maths and physics Scholars are female? We're proud to be breaking the gender gap traditionally observed across STEM subjects and occupations.
