NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in Mathematics)

A fabulous DfE funded site aimed at enhancing professional development in Maths teachers across all sectors and levels. There are news items, message boards, regular email magazines, stacks of resources and links to some very interesting blogs from maths teachers, etc.

I was introduced to this site in 2008 whilst studying for the Level 5 Additional Diploma in Teaching Mathematics and would now be lost without it. Becoming a member of the NCETM is an absolute must for anyone undergoing professional development in teaching numeracy/mathematics. The forums are lively and enlightening – I recommend a visit to the Maths Cafe to get a taster.

There are so many teaching and CPD resources for FE maths and numeracy that it’s hard to know where to start but Thinking through mathematics is one of my favourite areas (you may need a free login to get to this).
