Improving Mathematics Provision for Post-16 Students

G. D. WAKE

Geoff Wake is a Research Fellow working in the Centre for Mathematics Education at the University of Manchester. Prior to this he taught in a number of schools and colleges in England. Much of his work in the Centre has been involved with motivating Mechanics through mathematical modelling. His current areas of research and curriculum development involve both widening access to mathematics for post-16 students and developing the curriculum to support the learning of mathematics to equip youngsters for the workplace. Another area of interest is the use of technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics
