Enabling all students to explore the connections that underpin mathematics Mathematics is a coherent and connected enterprise. To reflect this we have organised our resources along a system of thematic tu*e lines. These resources support teachers in the clas*room. They help students build firm foundations for mathematical understanding by connecting This approach to post-16 mathematics was developed by the University of Cambridge, funded by a grant from the UK Department for Education. Designed to stimulate students' curiosity and elicit discovery of ideas, the resources can be used flexibly, offering a meaningful Resources encourage students to pose questions, reflect and collaborate, de*pening their individual understanding. We worked closely with partner schools across England to develop the project and our Champion teachers continue to trial resources and provide feedback. Teachers’ experiences have fed into teacher notes that accompany resources. Resources have been designed for clas*room use and often include printable card sets and worksheets. Interactive elements such as The tu*emap shows multiple connections between topics. In addition, processes and pervasive ideas allow users to connect resources by thinking about approaches to the problems and the concepts involved. Solutions are provided which also offer questions, suggestions of multiple approaches, and opportunities for reflection. Brief teacher notes within resources provide support for using the resources in the clas*room. Our resources are organised into topics or stations on a map or tu*emap showing the connections between them. Watch this video or use the preceding menu to find out more. The mathematics has been organised along a system of tu*e lines, which reflect big themes that run through mathematics. The tu*emap offers a way to navigate to resources for teaching a particular area of mathematics; resources can be accessed by clicking on a station name. Some stations are still in development and this is indicated by a construction symbol.
