This free online event, delivered by our Maths Subject Advisor Vicky Wood, supports teachers delivering Pearson Edexcel GCSE Maths.

The training covers ways to support your high-attaining students to access the most challenging problem-solving questions targeting grades 8 and 9.

You will:
• look at the key questions from prior series that differentiated the grade 9 candidates
• provide practical teaching tips to use within the classroom
• identify activities and resources to provide additional stretch and challenge.
