Strategies for teaching fractions - a free live online professional development session for tutors and lecturers of post-16 students who are working towards resitting GCSE Mathematics
16:00 - 16:45 Tuesday 15 October
Supporting older students as they prepare for their GCSE resit examination presents many challenges; however a mathematics qualification is important for so many young people and their goals for the future.
In this short online session we will take a look at a range of successful teaching strategies for a key area of GCSE mathematics: Fractions.
The session will include:
- active participation in some mathematical thinking
- reflecting upon effective teaching approaches
- ideas that can be immediately used in the classroom with your students
This free session provides a taste of the professional development courses for teachers of mathematics provided by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), a national charity that supports mathematics education.
