who learn with, develop and support colleagues across the region with a shared aim to enable the very best mathematics outcomes for pupils and students across South Yorkshire.
The content of individual Work Groups will be flexible to meet the needs of participants, but will be broadly linked to the Overarching Themes of the A level qualification: problem solving and mathematical thinking; mathematical modelling and representations; proof, reasoning and mathematical communication
Improving Progress for A-Level Mathematicians with Lower GCSE Grades
Starting from the understanding that some learners will require additional support to succeed in A level maths, we will explore structures, routines, technology and pedagogy that can make this possible—including ideas drawn from the NCETM’s Five Big Ideas and the Essence of Teaching for Mastery.
We’ll also consider strategies that help all learners succeed and make meaningful progress in A level maths.
The course content is applicable across all exam boards and all areas of A level maths. Whether you teach Pure, Mechanics, Statistics, Further Maths—or any combination—this session is designed to support your practice.
Your students will have a deeper conceptual understanding of the A level Maths content
You will understand the purpose of the Overarching Themes, including use of technology, and their impact on teaching and learning in A level Maths
You and your department will be equipped to better support the development of stronger
subject knowledge pedagogy
You and your department will further embed the Overarching Themes into your A level
