Schools
Mathematics syllabi are often hard to relate to the real world and yet teachers are asked to do it more and more to ensure students leaving school have strong numeracy skills that they are able to apply to a range of tasks in the world of work. Whilst still under construction. this website will provide resources for short in-class projects, whole activity days and units relating to key events all with a very real Maths element as well as resources to support the introduction of the Maths concepts and starter activities and challenges that can easily be extended to home learning tasks.
Often it is difficult to make an abstract concept have a real life application which is not only relevant but also not contrived, and to be honest it may not always be possible, however, through the completion of these units of work pupils and teachers are given the scenario which will provide an introduction to a broad base of maths concepts and with some careful coordination across subject areas may even lead into whole school projects. The units can also be used for home schooling and, in time, there will be support units for parents to assist with home learning tasks.
New vocational courses require more project-based learning and some of these units of work may fit directly into the programme of study. Alternatively if you have a specific request its worth using the contact us facility as resources are always being developed and existing ones can be amended to make them more appropriate.
Themes have been developed with the interests of different year groups to encourage participation and foster key numeracy skills in an age appropriate way. With this in mind, all activities cover a range of abilities so that pupils can access the materials and make good progress from whatever their starting point.
It is hoped that, in time, these activities will develop into a full programme of study, with key emphasis on functional Mathematics, that can be taught across Key Stage 3 and into Key Stage 4 and enable pupils to successfully pass their GCSE examinations and demonstrate to employers and further education providers that they have a strong skill set.
