Dicussions among maths staff, cluster educators have identified some common issues:
* Many staff teaching maths feel they don't have enough formal training, and are not comfortable with content
* Other staff feel confident with content but ackowledge that they need assistance broadening their pedagogy to include open ended tasks
* the local education plan (open plan classrooms, team teaching etc) is likely to increase these issues

A maths network has been set up to promote these discussion and resulting professional development. See the the network blog.
