Mathematics Resources
This section highlights a range of practical materials specifically designed for crossing the grade C, D borderline. All have been tried and tested through the “Maths Motivators” CPD with a range of colleges and a variety of tutors including GCSE teachers, vocational staff, functional maths teachers and learning support.
They are mostly free with only a few requiring further subscription to a wider range of useful resources. The resources recommended are not just a list of worksheets - they look different and are different and they suit this bespoke diet that an FE students needs in Maths remembering that all of the students will have seen all of the maths before; they just can’t do it
...yet!
A selection of the recommended resources have been trialled with participating providers and are known to have been received well and used immediately. They are listed as follows: Just Maths Corbett Maths Hegarty Maths Miss B’s Resources

These resources differ from anything that the NCETM provides although that is still obviously a great place to look. Resources such as The Standards Unit’s ‘Improving Learning in Mathematics’ andMaths4Life’s ‘Thinking Through Mathematics’ are just as valuable as ever. Don’t forget NRICH and Bowland maths too.
