Primary Oracy Work Group

How can oracy deepen students' mathematical reasoning? This Work Group is designed to support the children to learn ‘through talk and to talk’. It is designed to deepen students’ understanding of maths by using strategies for oracy to develop students' reasoning skills.

This Work Group will include key elements such as creating and using sentence starters, sentence stems and generalising sentences. Participants are expected to consider ways to develop the approaches explored during the project with other staff in their schools.

This involves a total of four online twilights and one face to face session as well as classroom and school-based activity.
