While mathematics is the most popular A level option post-16 and is highly sought-after in the jobs markets, many pupils can struggle – with some developing a dislike and even a fear of the subject that lasts into adulthood. This webinar focused on supporting these children and young people and discussed the common barriers to engagement, motivation and successful outcomes – before then considering how we might address and overcome these.

In particular, we discussed attitudes to mathematics study and how to support pupils who believe they are “no good at maths”. We discussed “maths anxiety”, what this is, and how it affects pupils. And we considered how to support pupils whose fear of making mistakes is holding them back. We discussed engaging with families and how we can help parents and carers to support positive pupil attitudes and motivation to study maths.
