Abstract

This paper acknowledges the Mathematics Teacher Exchange Programme in attempt to tackle the gap in Mathematical attainment between pupils in the UK. By drawing on primary data collected within secondary schools in England, this paper presents that Mathematical attainment is much more complex due to the differences in demographics and the cultural and educational norms of pupils, which affects their Mathematical confidence and impacts on attainment.
