Really proud to be headlining the GOE and especially putting oracy and maths at the heart of the debate. The work OUP has done with @voice21oracy in maths is a brilliant template for how to apply general oracy principles to subjects and crafting the best resources to support this
We are pleased to announce our Headline Sponsor for #GOE24 @OUPPrimary @OUPSecondary. You can also hear from them on the day in the ‘Talk for Maths’ Session at 10.00am https://t.co/izzw8H275w
