Who can take part?
This is for Year 10/11 teachers of GCSE Maths, and for those teaching GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths in any Post-16 settings.
What is involved?
In years 10/11 it becomes apparent that some students will need to continue their maths studies at Post-16 phase in order to achieve a L2 qualification. This Work Group will consider their learning experience to provide greater coherence across the phases.
Participants will attend 2 half day and 2 full day workshopS and complete practice-based tasks between sessions.
What will you learn?
- Your students will be better prepared for transition from KS4 to post-16 (GCSE Resit and/or Functional Skills)
- Your students will (in KS4) show an increased understanding of their route to a Level 2 qualification (either GCSE or Functional Skills)
- Your students will (in Post-16 GCSE and/or Functional Skills) demonstrate a positive attitude to maths.
- You will have a deeper understanding of the approaches which will support students as they move from KS4 to post-16 (GCSE Resit and/or Functional Skills), including the importance of consistency of language and representations relating to specific areas of the curriculum.
What is the cost?
This Cross Phase – Supporting students to achieve a L2 qualification in Maths Work Group is funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is provided free to participating schools/colleges.
