Classroom resources
This section contains resources that will be primarily of interest to maths teachers, and their managers, who work with GCSE re-sits learners or those studying Functional Skills at level 1 or 2.
Here you will find 12 exemplar research lessons, developed by the University of Nottingham – including those used in the randomised control trial exemplar schemes of learning, underpinned by the five principles of mastery further sets of mastery lessons developed by CfEM colleges which link to the schemes of learning guidance for teachers on teaching for mastery approaches trialled and used during the CfEM project, many of which feature in the mastery lessons.
All teaching and learning resources are underpinned by five key principles of mastery in the Further Education (FE) and Training sector, which were developed early in the CfEM project.
For further details, see the Mastery diagram and the CfEM Teaching for Mastery in Further Education handbook.
