Our vision
As a mathematics team, we believe pupils should be entitled to enjoyment and achievement in their learning, inspired by practitioners who are confident in their subject knowledge, imaginative in their use of inclusive teaching, and up-to-date with current mathematical research, who will develop all pupils to become mathematical thinkers equipped with skills for life.
Due to the changing educational landscape and restructuring of Local Authority services, Glosmaths regrettably stopped operating as a team in September 2010. However the team is still committed to supporting the learning and teaching of mathematics in Gloucestershire and fund this website to signpost you in the right direction.
All Glosmaths resources can now be found in the Glosmaths Archive on ‘GlosEd’
