Maths Revolution: How to turn resistance into GCSE success
Autor Julia Smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 2026
Based on Julia Smith's pioneering 5Rs curriculum, real-life case studies and two decades of frontline teaching, this practical resource offers breakthrough strategies that have helped countless resistant learners achieve passing grades. Through compelling case studies (including students who found success after multiple attempts), Julia demonstrates how changing your approach can dramatically improve GCSE results.
The book addresses the core challenges that undermine student confidence: calculation difficulties, mathematical anxiety, problem-solving barriers, and exam technique. Each chapter combines evidence-based methods with ready-to-use classroom activities that can be implemented immediately, regardless of your own maths confidence.
Particularly valuable for FE colleges, lower-set GCSE classes, and intervention specialists, this guidebook equips you to transform "I hate maths" into "I can do this" - and turn disappointment into achievement.
