In maths, most topics we teach have a link to another. Unless we focus on making
connections (linking), we risk pupils viewing topics as always being stand alone. Connections
between mathematics topics, between mathematics and other subjects, and between
mathematics and everyday life all contribute to making mathematics
understandable and meaningful. What ideas/resources do you have in your
departments to make linking explicit?

Head of Math Faculty at St Edward's, Cheltenham
As the Head of Maths at St. Edward's School in Cheltenham, with 18 years of teaching experience, I'm embarking on an exciting journey into Higher Performance Learning (HPL). Despite my seasoned expertise in teaching, HPL is a new horizon for me. I eagerly anticipate the challenge of exploring and integrating HPL principles into both my personal teaching methodologies and within the broader scope of our department's practices. I’m looking forward to sharing and discussing my HPL journey with the wider community.
