….for Functional Skills and Foundation GCSE Maths.
Iain Forsyth’s CrackMaths is offering free out-of-class support for resit students this year.
Every Monday from 7:00–8:00pm, Iain will be live on YouTube working through exam-style questions and helping students keep on top of their maths outside of their usual lessons.
From now until December, he will be focusing on the overlap between Functional Skills Level 2 and Foundation GCSE Maths, building up the core skills needed for both qualifications.
Then, in the new year, the content will move on to the additional Foundation GCSE content, working towards covering the full Foundation syllabus in time for the summer exams.
Each week, students are given five topics to work through independently before the following live Monday math’s session, when Iain will go through exam-style questions based on what they’ve studied and set the topics for the week ahead.
Although the sessions are live, they’re recorded and remain available afterwards, so students don’t need to be able to attend at 7pm. It’s really just about offering some extra structure and support for their maths outside of class.
You can find the scheme of work using this link, so you can see exactly what will be covered and when. Everything, including the weekly resources, can also be found at crackmaths.co.uk.
