Getting to Know the Grid: A New Approach to Teaching Algebra

With Tom Francome (King’s Norton Girls’ School) and Dave Hewitt (University of Birmingham)

Algebra is often regarded as a ‘hard to teach’ topic but Tom and Dave have been working with students from both primary and secondary schools who have become confident with working with formal algebraic notation and solving linear equations using software by ATM called Grid Algebra. This offers a new way of approaching algebra work and in the session you will engage in some of the Grid Algebra activities as well as see some of the work students have done following use of the software.

Meetings venue

19:00 for 19:15 start. Finishing 20:45.

Room 422 (4th floor, opposite where you get out of the lift), School of Education, University of Birmingham
