Teaching Methods

In this class, we will combine teaching of skills with opportunities to practise these skills using real-life examples. You may choose to work alone, in pairs, or with support from the tutor. Resources such as number lines and multiplication tables will be available to support learning.

How is your progress checked?
One of the first things you'll do is take an Initial assessment. This is just to get a sense of your starting level of confidence with the material. Don't worry, there's no pass or fail - it's just for us to understand where you're starting from.
As you work through the course, we'll be giving you feedback along the way. This is so you can check your understanding and progress. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help you learn.
At the end of the course, there will be a final assessment. This is to check your progress and see how much you've learned. Again, there's no pass or fail - we just want to see how far you've come.
Extra study or practice required at home.
Optional worksheets will be provided at the end of each session for learners to practise skills. Online videos can be watched prior to sessions to support learning.
