This framework gives students the confidence to \u2018have a go\u2019 at problem solving and is more applicable to the new way of thinking that Core Maths involves.<\/p>\n<p>James also described how we work with the structure flexibly so, for example, a routine could become the whole lesson if necessary, based on the ideas and solutions the students produce during that section. He confirmed that our students appreciated having the structure in place as it meant they knew where they were in a lesson simply and could concentrate more on the maths.<\/p>\n<p>James also described how we change the context of the set task to reflect our students\u2019 area of study. We deliver Core Maths in the main to Animal Management and Equine Science Technical Baccalaureate students plus some agriculture, engineering and countryside students, so use animals, crops and real-world financial examples for contextualisation. Most delegates taught in general FE colleges or schools so were interested in our approach.<\/p>\n<p>James\u2019 presentation also included the use of game app Kahoot which led to ideas from peers on other quiz apps which would be suited to distance learning.<\/p>\n<p>Mathematician Tom Rainbow, who was moderating the chat, messaged: \u201cWonderful James\u2026lots of people loving it!\u201d<br \/>\nThe Advanced Mathematics Support Programme is a government funded initiative which aims to increase participation in Core Maths, AS\/A level Maths and Further Mathematics, and improve the teaching of these Level 3 qualifications.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/padlet.com\/catherine_vansaarloos\/FestivalFinale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to see James\u2019 presentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-76yfidc-9673c3f7f51299a626c24cc5cc61dcad\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-76yfidc-9673c3f7f51299a626c24cc5cc61dcad{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-76yfidc-9673c3f7f51299a626c24cc5cc61dcad hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lecturer in maths James Maloney has shared best practice from Reaseheath with peers at a national maths festival delivered by the Advanced Maths Support Programme.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":85431,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
