Supporting Low Attainers to Achieve a L2 Qualification in Mathematics

Identify and meet the needs of students continuing L2 study at post-16

What is involved?

This is for teachers whose students will study Level 2 maths across secondary and post-16. Teachers of Years 10 and 11, and of post-16 GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths, will develop ways to support students who need to study maths beyond age 16 to achieve a L2 qualification.

Work Groups will focus on developing transferable teaching techniques aligned to teaching for mastery. Participants will attend workshops and complete practice-based tasks between sessions.

  • You will ensure that lesson design and pedagogy demonstrate a secure knowledge of curriculum continuity and sequencing
  • You will understand the importance of consistency of language and representations relating to specific curriculum areas
