Conference 2nd July 2022

This website has been created to enable teachers of mixed-attainment maths classes to share resources and ideas.

Mixed Attainment Maths

​Beliefs
  • Mixed attainment classrooms are a demonstration of social justice and enable children to learn without limits.
  • Labelling children and setting them according to some notion of their (fixed) ‘ability’ places limits on learning.
Aims
  • To promote and support mixed attainment teaching in mathematics classrooms.
  • To form a community of teachers who share a common belief in mixed attainment teaching in mathematics classrooms.
  • To develop this website to provide resources, advice, research and discussion about mixed attainment teaching in mathematics classrooms.
Methods
We will communicate the beliefs and pursue the aims by:
  • Holding regular conferences.
  • Collaborating with any organisation or individual that supports mixed attainment teaching in mathematics classroom and who offers that support without cost or without the intention of making a profit.
