The Maths-for-Life programme addresses five key areas of mathematics that are known to be challenging for re-sit students. Understanding these core GCSE topics will help students to achieve the marginal gains needed.
Within the programme, mathematics is promoted as an interconnected discipline.

These experiences encourage students to build networks of related ideas which will help them transfer their learning from one problem-situation to another.
