Tackling the “anti-maths mindset”
October 29 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Overview
This webinar focuses on general strategies (rather than specific maths content) to engage students and improve maths outcomes. It encourages maths-related delivery across vocational areas and tutorials based around topical and contextualised material.
Objectives
This webinar will help delegates to:
- Recognise the key principles of the maths mastery approach and identify how these can be translated into a delivery strategy at your organisation;
- Develop a strategy for raising the profile of maths across college and increase collaboration between departments;
- Identify the causes and symptoms of maths anxiety, and plan and deliver lessons that support learners with maths anxiety.
The session will suggest some strategies for streamlining maths delivery and signpost resources and schemes of work. It will highlight the importance of cross-college collaboration, and consider how to address the challenges of maths anxiety in the classroom.
It is intended that learners receive a consistent message regarding the importance of maths, and a fresh approach that presents a contrast to previous negative experiences. Learners with maths anxiety will be given support to achieve and ultimately to reduce their anxiety.
Who should attend
This webinar is suitable for:
- Maths lecturers, support staff and curriculum leads;
- Vocational managers with responsibility for maths.
