Target Group: Primary Teachers

The new primary mathematics curriculum lists ‘encouraging playfulness’ as a key pedagogical practice. While playful approaches based on the Aistear framework are common in junior primary, many teachers are unsure about how playfulness might be encouraged in senior primary.

In this webinar, Blair Minchin, a primary teacher based in Scotland, will share his approach to playful mathematics learning in senior primary.
