The committee exists to promote the professional development of teachers of mathematics.
Most recently, the Committee has been finding ways in which we can implement the Membership survey results and feedback.
If you would be interested in joining the Professional Development Committee please get in touch, email alice.hall@m-a.org.uk to find out more or tweet our PD Chair @pdLouiseP

Branch: MA ATM Birmingham Branch
Title: Practising Mathematics
Presenters: Dave Hewitt and Tom Francome
Date: Saturday, 10th February 2018
Time: 9.30am for 10.00am. Finish 1.00pm
Summary: ‘Practice makes perfect’ – well it is not that simple; yet students do need to practise skills within each topic they learn – developing fluency with various techniques is an important part of mathematics education, as is connecting together different parts of the curriculum. This will be an active session in which we will offer some opportunities to engage with activities where the practice is used as a tool to explore, notice, generalise and justify; developing the mathematician as well as the mathematics. It will be suitable to teachers of KS 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Venue: School of Education, University of Birmingham, Room G39 (Ground floor)
Contact: Please email Lindsay Francome to let her know you intend to come; it helps with organising drinks.
