#CfEM National action research conference

#CfEM Live provides opportunities for Action Research Groups to showcase their findings and explore their key learning.

Welcome to CfEMLive1 – 2020

If you’re tweeting today, we’re using the hashtag #CfEMLive We’d also love you to use #FEMaths – today is a great opportunity to join up maths practitioners all over the country (and do share your Twitter handle in chat once you’re in Zoom).

We are so excited to welcome you to this hugely popular virtual conference. Our theme is Mastery and we are excited to hear from CfEM partners about their action research.

Here’s Lou Mycroft to welcome you to #CfEMLive


As you’ll hear from Lou’s welcome, today is all about you and your maths pedagogy. Whether you are sharing your action research, or learning from others’ research, we will be encouraging you to listen, ask questions of others and appreciate the effort that has gone into each and every one of these research presentations. Please note that we will be filming all presentations and they will be stored in the public domain. Thank you.

But firstly please can you register to tell us you’re here? We’ll be using this information to update ETF’s booking system. Press hit Submit if the registration form has disappeared.

Great. You’ve probably got time to go make a cuppa 😃 An image of teacups, to invite you to get a brew

Now for the agenda. We’ve got four fabulous sessions for you today, each focused around some aspect of Maths Mastery (if you want to have a quick read up on Maths Mastery, check out this fabulous guide). Each presentation will last around 20 minutes, followed after both by the opportunity to process your thinking in small groups using our Menti question (see below), making use of the Zoom break-out rooms. This ensures that you have some processing time, to discuss what you’ve been hearing. There will be no ‘death by feedback’, we promise!

We’ll keep you muted during the sessions, to minimise background noise, so do ask any questions via chat. Remember all the video-presentations will be edited and made available on the Padlet after the event.

You might wish to contribute to our CfEMLive1 Menti during the day. Go to www.menti.com on your phone and the code is 514266. The question is How has today progressed your thinking and practice around Maths Mastery? You can go back in as many times as you like.

At a few minutes before 10am, please go to the Maths Mastery Zoom Room. No password is required.
