Our Maths tutors have identified a number of areas within the Key Stage 3 & IB MYP curriculum where students often benefit from additional practice and a different approach to problem-solving. While students may be comfortable with the basic skills involved, they can sometimes find it more challenging to apply these skills to unfamiliar questions, combine different areas of maths or explain their reasoning.

The sessions will go beyond simply practising standard textbook questions. Students will explore different ways of approaching problems, look at common misconceptions and mistakes, and practise applying their knowledge in increasingly challenging situations.

The aim is to help students become more confident and flexible mathematicians. Rather than focusing only on whether students can remember a particular method, the Masterclass will encourage them to think about why a method works, when to use it and how to adapt it when faced with a different type of question.
