Boost learner motivation and achievement by embedding maths where it is most meaningful — within the vocational context.
This interactive course, designed for technical and vocational tutors, trainers, and assessors, will help identify natural opportunities to develop maths skills essential to each learner’s study programme or apprenticeship. You will discover practical strategies, explore best practice case studies, and experience how learning technologies can enhance delivery. By making maths relevant and purposeful, you’ll help learners build confidence and succeed in both their vocational qualification and future career.
Discover how thoughtful planning — combined with strategic use of resources — can transform your lessons and maximise learning opportunities.
This interactive course supports practitioners in creating lesson plans that not only support deeper learning and engagement but also respond to individual learner needs. Explore how to tailor your approach to maximise progress, make strategic use of resources, and ensure every learner is supported and challenged appropriately. You’ll gain practical insights into how effective planning shapes what your learners understand, retain, and apply — helping you deliver more inclusive, effective maths lessons that improve all learner outcomes.
Gain practical strategies to use language more effectively in your maths teaching to improve learner understanding, confidence, and success — especially when tackling contextual and worded problems.
This interactive course explores how the way we question, explain, and discuss maths can either enhance understanding or create barriers to learning. Learn how to craft accessible questions, support knowledge transfer across contexts, and build learners’ confidence with maths-specific vocabulary. You’ll also explore strategies for effective mathematical discussions and consider how to adapt language to meet individual learning needs. Leave with practical tools to help every learner access, engage with, and succeed in maths.
Explore strategies to develop learners’ reasoning skills and boost their confidence in tackling complex, multi-step problems.
Problem solving is at the heart of mathematical thinking — and this interactive course equips practitioners with the tools to teach it with confidence. You’ll examine a variety of engaging, classroom-ready activities designed to make problem solving accessible and enjoyable for all learners. Whether your learners need support with the foundations of problem solving or require strategies for tackling multi-mark questions, this course will help you unlock every learner’s potential to think critically, persevere, and succeed in maths.
Help your learners move from uncertainty to confidence with modelling strategies that make abstract maths accessible.
This interactive course explores how Concrete, Pictorial, and Abstract (CPA) approaches provide opportunities for learners to engage with material across multiple modes of representation, allowing them to make connections between numbers and the real world. You’ll investigate powerful techniques such as contextualisation, algebra tiles, bar models, and ratio tables. Offering practical tools which can be adapted to meet learner needs, this course will help you demystify maths and boost learners’ conceptual understanding.
Unlock deeper number sense and build lasting learner confidence in these key areas of maths.
This interactive course enhances teachers’ own conceptual understanding of fractions, decimals, percentages, and place value—empowering them to create a solid foundation for all learners. Grounded in Mastery principles, you’ll explore strategies to address common misconceptions and promote deep, connected understanding of number and proportional reasoning. Through tools like bar models and ratio tables, you’ll learn how to highlight underlying mathematical structures and support learners in making meaningful connections.
Ensure language is never a barrier to maths success.
This course equips teachers with practical strategies to support ESOL learners navigating maths alongside language challenges and diverse educational backgrounds. Explore how to interpret spiky profiles, build essential maths vocabulary, and use assessment techniques that truly reflect learners’ understanding. You’ll gain the tools to create inclusive, responsive classrooms where learners feel confident, supported, and capable. Strengthen your teaching practice and support your ESOL learners to reach their potential.
Save time, meet diverse learner needs, and drive better outcomes through clear priorities and purposeful planning.
This two-part course empowers teachers and managers to design coherent, impactful GCSE maths programmes through smart prioritisation, purposeful Schemes of Work, and clear topic connections. Learn how to reduce cognitive load, align with assessment objectives, and meet learners where they are, while keeping progress at the centre. Equip yourself with the skills to build a structured, adaptable curriculum that boosts engagement, confidence, and achievement.
