We Say

Overview

With a long history of promoting the very best in learning and teaching Mathematics, The Mathematical Association actively engages in consultation and discussion on the issues currently affecting Mathematics education. We respond professionally and constructively to ministerial announcements and to proposals from the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), the Teacher Training Agency (TTA) and other bodies. We comment on inquiry reports, academic research findings and reports published by organisations and learned bodies supporting Mathematics in Britain. Occasionally, we adopt position papers prompted by discussions amongst ordinary members, and at our committees. We hope that we have something distinctive to say on Mathematics curriculum and pedagogy, formative and summative assessment, inspection, the dissemination of quality assurance information, and the training, expertise, professional development, recruitment and retention of Mathematics teachers.
