Sue Hough
Re-engaging with common sense for GCSE resit
Sue Hough has worked with GCSE resit teachers and their students over many years on developing approaches which encourage learners to build from their natural informal ways of answering questions. Sue has designed classroom materials based on the Realistic Maths Education approach (www.rme.org.uk) where using context and informal models such as the ratio table can empower GCSE resit learners to see all the topics which involve proportional reasoning as the same; not different.
Martin Newton
What can’t GCSE resit students do, why can’t they do it and how do you fix it?
Martin Newton works for MEI as a Mathematics Education Support Specialist, he works extensively with the FE sector supporting leaders, teachers and students in their quest to improve FE maths. Martin believes a good scheme of learning should be reduced in size, be connected and combine topics wherever possible, and importantly should be responsive to the many varied demands of the resit student.
Emma Bell

Attitudes and emotions: how do you convince GCSE resit students that they CAN learn maths?

In a varied career, she has worked as a GCSE resit teacher in a further education college, tutored secondary PGCE students and written numeracy CPD materials for teachers in Zimbabwe.
