Course Outline

The run-up to Christmas can be a challenging time for maths teachers who feel the pressure to keep course content moving while students look to wind down and participate in festive activities. In this webinar we will explore topics and strategies that can be used in the maths classroom to keep students engaged while still hitting key learning outcomes. Ideal for the final weeks of term, all activities are low-prep, curriculum-aligned, and ready to use across a range of class levels. Whether you're teaching Junior Cycle or upper primary, this session will help you finish the term with fun, meaningful maths.
