Teaching GCSE mathematics for understanding SL453 / RB02
Summary
Join us to explore the content of the mathematics GCSE and discover approaches to develop fluency, embed mathematical reasoning and support mathematical problem-solving. You’ll work with experienced subject specialists to cover the key concepts students need for success, and a wide range of classroom-based approaches to implement when back in school.
"I feel more able and confident to teach a number of topics (specifically those covered by the course) in a manner that would enable my learners to gain a greater understanding of the topics and therefore apply that understanding to problem-solving." Past participant
