Funded by the Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN), the LTSN MathsTEAM Project has published three booklets: 

  • Diagnostic Testing for Mathematics

  • Maths Support for Students

  • Maths for Engineering and Science.

They provide a comprehensive collection of 65 case studies, intended to assist academics cope with the challenge of enhancing engineering or science students' basic mathematical skills.  

 

The contributing authors discuss the execution of current teaching practices, they talk about the barriers and the enablers in setting up these learning initiatives. 

 

For those academics considering the implementation of any of the programs, each case gives you the opportunity to review the learning processes and tools.

 

Each booklet contributes to the transfer of knowledge within higher education communities; each case study offers practical suggestions for academics to gain a better understanding of the present situation and related topics that merit further exploration and research.
