    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.

    What will you learn?

    • 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
