Deep down inside, Mr Knott had always wanted to be a maths teacher
“It’s a great way of keeping in touch with the latest thinking and
developments”
“The NCETM portal provides a one-stop shop for teachers and leaders of mathematics”
“Communities are an excellent way of finding out what others are doing as well as a good place to get advice on maths teaching”
“The resources are really useful too”
“It can give you great comfort when you feel you are the only one
with a certain problem and – hey presto, you find you are not!”
I am enjoying using this portal, especially because when I need some inspiration to prepare sessions well, it helps me.
“All in all, a very useful site”
