Deep Progress in Mathematics: the Improving Attainment in Mathematics Project

This resource, provided by Anne Watson, Els De Geest and Stephanie Prestage, describes how a group of ten teachers taught low attaining groups in secondary school, and what features were seen to be important. The teachers had a shared commitment to improving the attainment of their lowest attaining students by building on the belief that all students can think hard about mathematics, and thus improve. This project intended that those who had been placed in groups of low-attaining students would make deep progress in mathematics. Deep progress means that students: *learn more mathematics *get better at learning mathematics *feel better about themselves as mathematics students Teachers involved with this project used a variety of techniques to develop helpful learning habits and some examples of the methods used, together with a selection of ideas of how to generate a studious atmosphere of concentration and participation are given.
