Professional Development

This workshop takes a detailed look at angles in polygons, examining this topic’s place on the national curriculum and how it is assessed at GCSE. We discuss a range of methods and various pedagogical approaches. We also examine some ways to enrich the teaching of this topic, adding depth and challenge that goes beyond the national curriculum. This workshop aims to enhance teachers’ subject knowledge as well as provide teaching ideas and inspiration.
