Aim: The aims of the project were to answer the questions: What is an effective way to prepare to teach mathematics using an enquiry based approach? What would be the impact on pupil learning and attitudes of introducing an enquiry based approach to mathematics teaching in year 7?

Aims of the Project: To develop a PD tool that focuses on using interactive whiteboard technology effectively to enhance mathematics teaching To inform and extend previous research into the effective use of interactive technologies in Mathematics classrooms Two key questions focused the discussion and research during the project: What makes an effective resource that stimulates learning when using an interactive whiteboard? How can teachers develop their skills so they can create/use resources of this nature?"

Aim: The main aim of the project was to explore how to establish practitioner research as an effective and sustainable form of continuing professional development both for participating researchers and, through their research work, for colleagues within the schools and network.
