Teacher Magazine has looked at Tracey Muir’s (Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Tasmania) study of both teacher and student experiences of using a flipped learning approach with Senior Mathematics. Muir looked at a variety of approaches to a flipped classroom with teacher curated and teacher created content, and students instructed to watch videos before class or as part of independent learning. In each case a high proportion of the students found that watching the videos aided their comprehension in class and most were happy to try the new teaching method.

One of the reported difficulties from teachers in the case study where they curated the video content, was how time-consuming it was to find appropriate videos.

Cambridge Senior Mathematics powered by HOTmaths provides video demonstrations for key examples across each unit allowing teachers to easily direct their students to videos that comprehensively address the topic being studied. Using the Task Manager, the teacher can set a range of activities including exercises, quick quizzes, video demonstrations and interactive activities before they attend their class or as a way to consolidate the learning at home. Allowing students to access the extra support material at any time through their Interactive Textbook means teachers can focus on additional face-to-face support within the classroom and gives students the benefit of working without distraction and at their own pace.
