The Study Plus Handbook

The Study Plus handbook from the National Strategies is a general guide to Study Plus for school leaders, mathematics subject leaders and teachers of the Study Plus classes.

Section one covers the rationale behind Study Plus, its features include identification of students, organisation, links to GCSE, lessons from the pilot, and planning.

Section two contains Study Plus sample English units.

Section three gives an overview of the Study Plus approach in mathematics and of the range of units, both those that the National Strategies have developed and others that are described in less detail but that have the potential to be effective.

All units are structured in four phases – an introductory phase hooking the learner, the main development phases exploring the topic and the mathematics, and a fourth, summary phase making the links, reflecting on the learning and allowing the learners to assess their progress.
