Gareth Evans, Mathematics Teacher at Tarleton Academy, attended the first Mixed Attainment Maths Conference at Birmingham University on the 28th Jan 2017.

The images below show how Gareth has been using Learning Journeys with his classes,  alongside the GCSE questions activity which Zebedee shared in her workshop.

 "I have used the learning journeys with a number of classes at the start of a unit, along with a selection of GCSE questions taken from http://www.mathedup.co.uk/ or https://corbettmaths.com/. The feedback from students is that they found value in seeing the range of outcomes and types of question related to the unit for two reasons 1) it helped establish the things they were already good at and 2) it gave them a clear idea of what they potentially would be able to achieve by the end of the unit.

Student also have a learning journey stuck in their books that they can highlight as we progress through lessons, and at the end of the unit they return to the GCSE questions and make any changes/additions. It is still a learning curve for me and I'm sure I could make it even more effective but I have found them really valuable.

I have particularly noticed with my Year 10 class the effects of 'mixed attainment teaching approaches' at both ends of the class - I am seeing the 'less able' students flourishing and the 'more able' students making even more progress. We currently set our students and I will be leading the transition to mixed attainment in Year 7 from September."

Gareth is hoping to visit a schools that is currently teaching mixed attainment classes. If you are able to welcome a visit from Gareth please contact him via twitter @tarletonmaths
