It is important that parents keep up with their
children's schooling...and in particular Mathematics.
Whilst successive
governments tinker with the National Curriculum and exam boards keep changing their subject specifications, mathematics generally
stays unchanged in the content delivered in schools. Some topics are moved in or out of a syllabus or module and the
emphasis in a particular area might change. To the parents who were educated in a different era and the students who struggle
in the present, use the 'Courses' and 'Websites' pages to help you tiptoe through the 'minefield'.
The Solutions & Notes give examples of questions in the
style used by 'mossmaths' in supporting your sons and daughters in their
studies. Below are some of the comments made by staff about the work done by Richard Moss in their schools and.......
'Blowing my own trumpet'
or feedback from Heads of Maths in Birmingham
From Sharon Smith, Head of Maths, Turves Green
Boys School and Technology College....
“I cannot thank Richard enough for the excellent and professional support he has given me and
the pupils of Turves Green Boys. The lessons delivered were effective, interesting, relevant and motivating. (I am particularly
impressed by Richard’s ability to adapt at short notice).
From Sue Wilding, Shenley Court School, on Richard working with a large group of intermediate
students trying to raise their 'mock' results to a 'C' grade.......
“On talking to the Year 11 students we have found...... They
have benefited from a different voice giving them hints and concrete advice. You have pointed out clearly and succinctly
what they need to do in order to achieve their grade C. You have given them confidence in their own abilities. Your obvious experience and thorough knowledge of the subject matter was evident in your dealings with both staff and pupils.”
From
Faye Tunstall, Head of Maths, John Willmott School
“I
found the Masterclasses very successful and aimed to help pupils understand what was going on with plenty of visual opportunities. The
resources were integrated into the lesson so that pupils had chance to investigate for themselves and formulise “what
happens when....?”
I look forward to Richard working
with a new cohort next year".
