Mathematics Support Sessions

It is important that students develop agency as independent learners. Students can use the textbook and interactive tutorials through Cambridge Go, NAV, online resources such as https://www.purplemath.com/, https://www.mathsisfun.com/ or my personal favourite, https://www.khanacademy.org/. These are great to access extra practice of the range of skills and extra assistance in understanding a concept.

When difficulties arise, individual assistance can help to improve understanding. All the Mathematics teachers are aware of this and allow time in lessons. Students should make use of all opportunities to ask their own teacher for assistance in class and to let them know if they are struggling.

As another facility, members of the Mathematics department provide free support sessions to provide further assistance to students who are experiencing difficulty. Teachers may rotate and are an indication only. Students can turn up to the room below and ask for help with a specific difficulty, homework question or complete study. Students need to attend the session at the starting time and ensure that they record their name on the attendance roll.
