How can I support my child? Changing Mindsets Lots of students think they are either “good” or “bad” at maths. This is not the case! At the moment talk to students about the effort they are making rather than getting answers right or wrong. What do they do when they are stuck? What strategies do they use? 3B4Me – what happens in real life? Maths is needed to get on lots of A-level, college courses, apprenticeships, work placements.
