Mathematics education policies and reports: Teaching and Learning

This collection of reports explores the teaching and learning of mathematics. The reports include:

• Mathematical Needs - The project comprised two reports which looked at the mathematical needs of Higher Education and employment and examined the mathematical needs of learners.
• Deep Progress in Mathematics: the Improving Attainment in Mathematics Project - This resource describes how a group of ten teachers taught low attaining groups in secondary school, and what features were seen to be important.
• Digital Technologies and Mathematics Education - These resources discuss the role that digital technologies might and should have in mathematics education.
• Key Understandings in Mathematics Learning - These resources are provided by the Nuffield Foundation who, in 2007, commissioned a team from the University of Oxford to review the available research literature on how children learn mathematics.
• Children's Understanding of Probability - The starting point in this report on children’s understanding and learning about probability is the sheer variety of the kinds of reasoning that are needed to solve problems about chance and uncertainty.
