Teaching and Assessment resources for tutors

Our Maths Matters for Tutors service is designed for private tutors who wish to be able to offer students all of the facilities of their own VLE, including interactive workshops, a revision website and practice questions with automatic marking and model solutions.

It allows you to use all of the interactive lessons, workshops and assessments in Maths Matters Online to deliver lessons, either in person to your students or teaching a class over the internet. A full set of virtual tools (pen, text, compasses, ruler, protractor and graph-plotting tools etc.) is available at all times and turn your PC or tablet into a mini interactive whiteboard.

Maths Matters Online covers all topics in mathematics at Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and the IGCSE Additional Maths syllabus. It is suitable for all students, whether they just want to obtain Grade C at GCSE or whether they are studying maths at AS level.

You can customise the content to suit your teaching style and the needs of your students - exactly. You can create your own scheme of work. All Maths Matters content is in Flash but you have full editing capabilities for lessons or assessments and the ability to create your own material, quickly and easily, using images and diagrams from our database - without needing to know anything about programming.

Maths Matters for Tutors allows your students to sign in to our VLE and access all of the same resources. They can complete any assignment that you set, over the internet, using all of the virtual, interactive tools to produce their working and all of the working is captured. Answers are marked automatically, giving students instant feedback, and the scores update the VLE mark book. A model solution accompanies each question, which students can view when they have completed an assignment.

Maths Matters runs on any computer (PC or Mac), tablet or mobile phone that is Flash enabled and is compatible with the Adobe Connect Classroom software. There is no installation required for users of Maths Matters Online, with the exception of the Adobe Flash Player. Use of tutorial content does not require continuous connection to the internet.
