Objectives

 

At the end of this webinar, you will have a deeper understanding of/and greater confidence with:

  • Developing strategies to foster a positive attitude towards maths in apprentices;
  • Identifying and implementing effective delivery methods to improve pass rates in Functional Skills Maths assessments (Level 1 & 2).
  • Equipping learners with essential non-calculator skills, such as mental calculations and estimation techniques, required in the formal assessments;
  • Confidently navigate the most common challenges encountered in Functional Skills maths assessments.

 

The carry through benefits are that greater learner awareness of maths challenges and the ability to build confidence, leads to better delivery of teaching in support of learning and progression. This will impact the wider community through improved Numeracy skills and greater confidence for learners as a result of more effective teaching and learning programmes.
