Y12 Maths Ambassadors

As part of the activity programme within the LCA+ curriculum, Ms Stone has introduced a Maths Ambassadors programme which gives our Sixth Form students plenty of opportunities to display their Lerpoolian characteristics of Purpose, Passion and Challenge:

Maths Ambassadors are a group of Y12 students who have all achieved a Grade 5 or above at GCSE. They help and support Y11 pupils in lessons, help teachers lead activities for Y7 and Y8 Mastery lessons and create their own activities for Prep pupils at the end of each half term. Next week , we are delivering our Maths Christmas Fair in the MV Hall to our Y4 pupils.

In our Thursday activity sessions, the ambassadors learn about leadership. We focus predominantly on how to lead a classroom before moving on to look at the pedagogy of Maths. Sixth Form students become aware of the intricacies of mastering mathematics and appreciate how to facilitate a deep understanding of numbers for pupils at the start of their maths journey.

I deliver sessions on the ‘language that leads to learning’, ‘misconceptions of maths’ and ‘classroom management’. These sessions enable the Y12’s to become ambassadors for the subject and support pupils in younger years to succeed.
