The NCETM Maths podcast is produced by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM), which is funded by the Department for Education to support all those teaching maths, to all age-groups, in schools and colleges in England, and those who provide and lead professional development activities for those teachers. This support is principally channelled through the Maths Hubs programme, which the NCETM leads, a central element of which is the Teaching for Mastery programme.
