Post-16 Projects 2020/21
Supporting Core Maths
Lead: Mark Huyton
Overview
This Work Group is open to all levels of specialism and experience in Core Maths teaching. The ethos of the Core Maths Work Group is a collaborative platform for sharing best practice. Key areas of the curriculum are targeted through discussion and reflection. Pedagogical techniques and new resources are then developed to pro-actively improve our Core Maths provision. Our main outcome is to develop pedagogical techniques and novel resources through reflection and pre-empting student misconceptions for target topic areas. We will also aim to embed life skills in our Core Maths students, whilst also improving exam technique.
This Work Group is free to join.

It is an opportunity to discuss the challenges we face with GCSE resit, think reflectively, share ideas and work collaboratively with teachers of post-16 GCSE resit from a variety of institutions.
