Summary: Designing quality continuing professional development (CPD) for those teaching mathematics in primary schools is a challenge. If the CPD is to be built on the scaffold of five big ideas in mathematics, what might be these five big ideas? Might it just be a case of, if you tell me your five big ideas, then I'll tell you mine? Here, there is well-argued agreement on the big five, and the subsequent nature, and impact, of the CPD is described in detail. (ERIC)
