MyMaths for Key Stage 3 is the brand new course that works with MyMaths to fully deliver the new curriculum, allowing you to finally replace your tired old Framework materials. With a truly differentiated structure so all abilities can access the new curriculum, the course is underpinned by a 'learn it once and learn it well' philosophy that enables coherent teaching and learning. All resources are written by teachers for teachers, so you can be
confident that it will work practically in the classroom.
This teacher companion is for teachers of middle ability students moving through KS3. It contains customisable lesson plans, providing practical guidance based on classroom needs, as well as medium- and long-term plans to offer a viable replacement for the Framework. For the more experienced teacher, the Lesson-at-a-Glance feature provides a snapshot of quick ideas on how to approach a lesson. Furthermore, the unique attainment profiling provides essential practical guidance on measuring your
average ability students' progression. A focus on intervention, with popular misconceptions identified, ensures all your students have the opportunity to succeed; and a focus on mathematical literacy helps ensure that students communicate effectively using maths, which is essential for GCSE.
Finally the direct links to MyMaths throughout uniquely allow you to integrate this powerful tool into your everyday classroom delivery.
