Herts Mathematics / ICT Project: 2007 – 08

Embedding ICT into the new Primary Framework

The main aim of this project has been to develop whole class teaching resources that creatively integrate using and applying and investigations to support the teaching of Block C Unit 2 of the Primary Framework in mathematics.

Five leading mathematic teachers, identified for their good practice, joined the project and spent two days at Hertfordshire Development Centre creating the materials, supported by Jenny Gould (Primary Strategy consultant) and Sue Pennington (Primary ICT Adviser).

We would like to thank all the teachers and schools who worked so productively to make the project so successful:

  • Bromet Primary (721)
  • Camp Primary (418)
  • Stonehill School (8)
  • Summercroft Primary (227)

Pupil Responses to Herts Mathematics / IWB project

This is so much more fun than “in our book” maths, I really enjoyed doing all the fairground maths, I thought I knew about scales and measuring but I didn’t.  We did lots of measuring in our Antarctica maths and now I understand it!, I loved Antarctica maths.  The maths was hard but it was so much fun and I learnt a lot!, I really understand how to read scales now, It was really fun seeing the animals move, The rucksack was really heavy.  It was funny when Chloe put it on, Antarctica maths was the best!, I liked going out to the field to measure parts of RSS Endurance.  The helipad was massive!, I like maths but especially Antarctica maths!
