Discussing challenges in Mathematics
In this section are three clips. In the first clip learners reflect on their own experience of learning Mathematics in their course and of Mathematics more generally. The second is an audio file where you can listen to two teachers reflecting on the challenges they face with teaching and learning Mathematics in their subject or vocational area. Finally, you will hear a range of perspectives from both teachers and learners on their experiences of teaching and learning Mathematics.
