The challenge of functionality in maths

The challenge of functionality in maths

With functionality an essential element of GCSE maths this is a chance to explore aspects of problem solving and decision making processes sharing approaches and good resources that may be available. Join our maths and numeracy portal manager Julia Smith to share your experience and help guarantee successful outcomes. The Ofqual Review of Functional Skills report is also due at the beginning of February so this will inform the event too.

What is a Vital TeachShare?

A TeachShare is a short online session (up to an hour) using Blackboard Collaborate videoconferencing software, in which the TeachShare host leads an online discussion on a specific topic. The sessions are free to join, and no advance booking is required, you can just turn up and join in!

What equipment do I need to join a TeachShare?

All you need in terms of equipment is a computer connected to the internet, and a set of headphones (you can check that your computer meets the miminum system requirements here). A microphone is useful if you want to join the discussion, although not essential; if you do not have a microphone you can join in using text chat. No prior experience of using Blackboard Collaborate is required, although if you are a new user, we recommend you join the session 5-10 minutes early to run through the setup.
