These two guides support and encourage integration between the maths study and work experience elements of Study Programmes (including Traineeships):
Maths at Work: Integrating work experience and maths provision in 16 to 19 Study Programmes (including Traineeships) is for curriculum planners, teachers, trainers and coordinators involved in planning and delivering the maths and/or work experience elements of 16 to 19 Study Programmes. It provides practical suggestions for ways in which providers can encourage learners and employers to enhance learners’ mathematical skills during work experience placements. It also suggests how maths teaching and learning can be contextualised using examples from the workplace. The guide includes examples of best practice from independent training providers, FE colleges, sixth form colleges and schools that have already established this kind of integration.
Maths at Work: A guide for employers offering work experience as part of 16 to 19 Study Programmes (including Traineeships) is designed for providers to share with employers who offer work experience placements. It provides background to Study Programmes and the maths that learners may be studying, as well as offering practical suggestions for ways in which employers can help strengthen learners’ mathematical skills during a work experience placement.
