Today, we sit down with Dr Chris Jagger, as he draws on his teaching experiences both at Cambridge University and Deloitte, to share some of his thoughts on how students can learn maths most effectively.

Many students find maths challenging. However, it doesn't have to be that way. At EasyA, we believe all students have the ability to excel in the subject. What matters most, is the way maths is taught.

Meet Dr Chris Jagger, EasyA Academic Advisory Board

Chris has an extensive background in education, having served as the Head of Learning at Deloitte and a lecturer and research fellow in Mathematics at Clare College, Cambridge University. At Cambridge, Chris supervised and directed studies and served on the Governing Body at Clare College. His particular field of research lies in Combinatorics and Graph Theory. Chris has a PhD in Mathematics from Cambridge University.

Given your experiences both at Cambridge University and Deloitte, what do you think is the most important aspect of teaching?

Enthusiasm. When I first lectured at Cambridge I had no experience or training, but a great love of the subject, and a strong desire to communicate that to others and to deliver better lectures than I had received. Everybody switches off when you say “Sorry this is a rather dry topic today”, so I always tell people I train that if they don’t feel much enthusiasm for the topic, their main preparation is to persuade themselves that it is the most exciting thing they have ever come across!

What inspired you to join EasyA?

Too many people turn up at a lesson not understanding the previous one, which then makes it ten times harder to understand the current lesson, and this snowballs throughout the course, resulting in them spending far longer getting to grips with the work than if they’d learnt it at the time. The ability to tap into on-demand tutoring anywhere, anytime, is just what people need to help resolve any current problems so they can go into their next lesson fully prepared. In addition, for years schools have struggled to get mathematicians teaching maths, so it is vitally important to have extra options open to students.

Many students can find maths challenging. What advice do you have for them?

Maths is all around us, and it is important not to let it pass you by. If you embrace it, enjoy it, and regard it as important, it becomes much easier to work at it when you are finding it challenging, and then it becomes less of a struggle. In today’s world, so much research in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Medicine, Archaeology, Geography, Economics, and so on, relies on Maths (and in fact you will find many with maths degrees researching these areas), so it really is vital. EasyA's tutors love their subject, making their support genuine and inspiring.

What’s the best way to learn difficult topics?

Ask questions. When I was a researcher the most common question from the brilliant mathematicians around me was “I don’t understand”, and the reason they were so good was because they always asked when they didn’t understand. EasyA is ideal for this, as you ask questions anonymously so don’t feel stupid, and can go at your own pace to understand the responses. Getting fresh explanations from an EasyA Tutor may just give you the different perspective that brings a breakthrough in your understanding of difficult concepts. It also helps to analyse what the problem is (what bit is it you don’t understand?) and draw a picture.

What makes EasyA different from other tutoring services?

EasyA is cutting-edge – the ability to access tutoring instantly using appealing technology – and provides support from enthusiastic young tutors who can remember when they were getting to grips with the same ideas themselves, making this a great way to access support. Its unlimited nature means students aren't under pressure to understand within a time frame - the help is genuinely available until you understand the answer to your question. No booking ahead, no waiting - instant explanation at the point you need it in your studies.

If you have questions for Chris, please let us know here and we'll do our best to feature these in our next interview.

Dr Patricia Era Bath (1942 - 2019) was a trailblazing African American inventor, humanitarian and ophthalmologist born and raised in Harlem, New York. She was encouraged from an early age to explore different cultures and so asserted throughout her career that her parents were ‘the fuel and engine of my empowerment. My love of humanity and passion for helping others inspired me to become a physician.’ After graduating from high school in only two years and earning awards for scientific research as early as age sixteen, Bath pursued a medical degree and accepted an internship at Harlem Hospital in 1968 before pursuing a fellowship in ophthalmology at Columbia University. It was through her studies here that she discovered and documented that African Americans were twice as likely to suffer from blindness than white patients and eight times more likely to develop glaucoma due to a staggering disparity in access to health care.

Shortly afterwards, when joining the Jules Stein Eye Institute as the first woman, she was offered a small office in the basement but ‘didn’t say it was racist or sexist. I said it was inappropriate and succeeded in getting acceptable office space. I decided I was just going to do my work.’ This work led her to create an innovative, volunteer-based discipline called community ophthalmology under the belief that eyesight is a basic human right regardless of economic status. She utilized volunteers that trained as eye workers to set up senior centers and daycare programs that screened for glaucoma and other severe eye conditions. She even managed to persuade her professors at Columbia to operate on blind patients for free, paving the way for the first major eye operations at Harlem Hospital the same year. Her work helped improve or restore vision to millions of patients worldwide whose problems would otherwise have gone untreated and undiagnosed.

However, Dr Bath is most famously attributed to creating the Laserphaco Probe, a new device which harnessed laser technology to create a less painful, less invasive and more precise technique for cataract surgery. When she first conceived of the device in 1981, her idea was more advanced than the technology available at the time and was met with disbelief and, in some instances, outrage as she shattered the glass ceiling. ‘The narrative of surprise – it has to change. I realize that when I achieve these things it helps what other women and other people of colour, black women, can do. But keep in mind: I never had any doubts’ Bath brought her device all over the world, holding patents in Japan, Canada, Europe and America, writing over 100 research papers and earning numerous awards as a pioneer for optic health. She later founded the non-profit American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness which advances optic health through global initiatives centered on providing grass-root screenings, treatments and education to developing countries. Her drive and dedication was undeniable and, in an interview, Dr Bath described her ‘personal best moment’ when using an implant procedure called keratoprosthesis to restore the sight of a woman in North Africa who had been blind for over 30 years.

Bath claimed many ‘firsts’ in her career including the first African American woman to receive a medical patent and attain many of the highest academic honors in her field. However, she maintained that motherhood was her top priority and also continually advocated for math and science education for girls, determined to remove the obstacles and barriers she encountered in her career and urge young students to believe in the power of their ideas. "Believe in the power of truth," she said. "Do not allow your mind to be imprisoned by majority thinking. Remember that the limits of science are not the limits of imagination."

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts are when the lens in your eye develops cloudy patches which usually get bigger over time and cause blurry or impaired vision and eventually blindness. They are usually age-related and develop in patients over 60 years old. It is hugely debilitating when left untreated as it stops people from performing simple daily activities safely such as driving and cooking. Scientists are still unsure as to what increases your chances of developing cataracts later in life, but studies have shown that factors such as smoking, diabetes, long-term use of steroids, eye injury, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and/or a family history of cataracts can increase the risk significantly.

Cataracts form because the lens, which usually focuses the light that passes into your eye, becomes less flexible, less transparent and thicker. Then age-related or medical conditions cause tissues within the lens to break down and clump together which clouds small areas within the lens. As the condition develops, the clouding becomes more dense and involves a larger area of the lens and so effectively begins to block and scatter the light that passes through resulting in your vision becoming blurred and distorted. At first, stronger lighting and prescription glasses may help someone to deal with cataracts, but many find that they need surgery as the condition worsens. However, research shows that modern cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures performed today.

There are two main types of surgical procedures for cataract removal: phacoemulsification or ‘phaco’ and laser cataract surgery which uses a ‘Laserphaco Probe’.

Phacoemulsification uses a high-frequency ultrasound device to break up the cloudy lens into small pieces which are then carefully removed with a suction. The procedure can be performed with very small incisions and so prompts fast healing and reduces the risk of complications. After all remnants of the cloudy lens have been removed, the surgeon will insert a clear lens inside the eye (an intraocular lens) that is positioned securely behind the iris i.e. in the same location your natural lens occupied. The incision is then closed and covered with a protective shield over the eye to ensure a smooth recovery.

The Laserphaco Probe, invented by Dr Patricia Bath, is a very similar procedure but uses laser technology to break apart the cloudy lens which allows for a much more effective removal. The device utilizes a system of lasers, suction and irrigation to remove the clouded lens and replace it with the intraocular lens (IOL). This provides a non-invasive, permanent and virtually painless solution to cataracts and so is now used in hospitals on a global scale!

Without a doubt, the past 3 months have been a challenge for everyone. No matter what field you work in, your life undoubtedly changed on March 23 when Boris Johnson announced the UK was to be locked down. Just three months ago, a world where we’d be spending months at home, banned from seeing even our closest friends and only venturing out for crucial supplies seemed unimaginable. However, while the lockdown has not been the most pleasant experience, it has brought about positive new behaviors that will change how we operate for years to come. In particular, education is one field that stands to benefit greatly.

Since the pandemic seized the nation, schooling has shifted online and students have found new ways of learning without the traditional resources they had just 3 months ago. Parents, deterred by the prospect of homeschooling their children, have also shown a willingness to try new technologies that will absolve them of their teaching duties. And teachers, many of whom had never dreamt of teaching their classes via webcam, are rather enjoying the idea of teaching from the comfort of their own homes.

As the co-founder of a recently launched edtech startup that connects students with tutors on-demand, I have been fortunate enough to experience some of these more positive, exciting outcomes of the pandemic, a few of which are highlighted below.

A new, tech-focused mindset

Over the past months, forced social distancing measures have meant that parents, students and teachers have all changed their attitudes towards technology and education: whereas online learning might have been a concept only favored by the most technologically savvy educators, the pandemic has forced even those who might traditionally be considered laggards to shift their teaching online. Similarly, parents who would have never considered online tutoring have been forced to witness the benefits and convenience of getting their children remote help. All of a sudden, routine activities that only a few months ago might have seemed unthinkable to many are becoming the norm.

Diminished importance of schools

The pandemic’s acceleration of the shift from offline to online learning has also diminished the need for physical schools. While this might not seem beneficial on the surface, it is perhaps one of the most important factors to making education more accessible and reducing poverty across the world. The ability for students to learn online eliminates the need for students to travel to an actual school, a critical obstacle to many students trying to learn. In the U.K. alone, a recent report by SchoolDash found that there was a significant overlap between places in England with slow public transport and places with struggling secondary schools. In developing countries, where students must routinely travel miles to school, online learning will have even wider reaching benefits. Online learning will mean that students can finally learn wherever, whenever they wish.

A more personalized learning ecosystem

The pandemic has also given rise to a far more personalized learning experience. Lesson recordings and online videos mean students can rewind lectures, recap topics and ask teachers questions on their own accord, all from the comfort of their own rooms. Learning in a far more independent manner also means students don’t feel self-conscious about struggling with a question whilst their classmates plough on, allowing them to focus on what they don’t understand. Online learning encourages each student to learn at their own pace.

Overall, while the recent pandemic has definitely been a global tragedy, it can be thanked for accelerating the transition of education from offline to online and bringing about positive change to a field that is still yet to benefit from the technological advances that have transformed other sectors. However, while the advent of online learning has obvious benefits, one must remember that only 60% of the world’s population are currently online, meaning students who do not have internet access risk being left behind in the short-term. Nonetheless, the long-term outlook is undoubtedly positive and, in a world where internet access becomes more prevalent, the above changes will only be amplified. A world where any student can access world-class teaching from their smartphone is now in sight.

Starting with... Misconceptions:

Speaking of mathematics, especially pure maths, most of the misconceptions come in two parts:

1. You must be very smart in order to study maths!
2. You must be very quick at mental calculations and/or pressing the calculator!

There are a lot of stereotypes about correlations in high IQ and studying maths because of different international maths competitions. 📖 For instance, most competitive schools have notoriously intensive and demanding training teams for the different Mathematics Olympiads for high school students.

Although maths competitions certainly help in problem-solving skills, they’re not a prerequisite for any mathematics degree! In reality, the challenging problems in Olympiads often require the sharpest minds in the country, and the stereotype that all maths undergraduates must be able to solve them is completely untrue. You don’t need to be an international Olympiad champion to strive for a maths degree at university. 🤓

Other than that, maths students are often regarded as “moving human calculators”. 👨‍💻 In a restaurant, for example, there’s sometimes the stereotype that the math students will be the ones splitting the bill and sorting out the change! Because “you’re quick at mental maths”, right? 🤔

Whilst you’ll likely be expected to do simple sums and percentages in your head, there are only a few maths undergraduates who can actually carry out complex mental calculations fast and accurately. Most students do their calculations and reasoning slowly and carefully!

Being able to reason your answer carefully and rigorously is a really important skill. At uni, the students who get the best grades often aren’t the ones who know the most, but the ones who are the most careful instead! 🔍

Also, it might surprise you that in a lot of maths exams at uni, students are not allowed to use a calculator! 🚫 There’s barely any pure numbers in exam questions, but there are lots of logical reasonings and proofs to complete.

How maths at uni differs from A Level/IB

Third-year students often get the chance to undertake an independent project under the supervision of a professor! 🎓 There’s full flexibility over the topic you choose, unlike in secondary school, where essay topics are set in stone by your teachers. This is similar to the Individual Assessment (IA) in IB, but of course, you can have more freedom, and even more extensive research on your project!

The most exciting part of all

A lot of maths students enjoy the constant problem-solving that a degree course offers! 🧩 Students are highly encouraged to practice and challenge themselves at different problems every day, so you’re able to do a lot of exploration in the vast sea of mathematics. 🌊

Moreover, being a maths student means that there are lots of opportunities to collaborate on projects with other students, who usually then become friends! 👯Most unis offer a group project / individual project “taster” unit in the first year where you’ll explore foundational topics in further depth. This could include differential equations, complex numbers, and probability & combinatorics. 📝

What jobs lie in waiting after a maths degree

Maths students go on to do a range of jobs, including becoming:

• Quantitative Financial Analysts: You'll use statistical formulas to assess risk by looking at life expectancies, damage reports and industry trends. 📈
• Technology/Data Analysts: You’ll provide data insights through clear visual, written and verbal communication by using statistical tools. 💬
• Accountants: You’ll give financial advice, audit accounts and provide trustworthy information about records. 💸
• Software Developers: You’ll code, debug and explore computer programs! 🖥️
• E-Commerce Managers: You’ll guide and support clients & colleagues so they can make sound business decisions.

Of course, there are also students who pursue further studies such as PhD degrees in order to become a researcher, lecturer, or even a professor! 👩🏾‍🏫

You don't need to become a teacher afterwardss

One major misconception is that it’s common for mathematicians to become secondary school teachers! 📎 Having a maths degree doesn’t make it significantly easier or harder to get into the education industry - you still have to do a PGCE/PGDE (Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma in Education) if you want to be a qualified teacher in the UK (at a state school). 📜

Are there other ways into these careers?

You can enter into a banking/finance/consultancy role with virtually any degree, although a more quantitative degree (such as maths) helps. For software and technology sectors, students can also start by self-learning different front-end and back-end programming languages & styles without the need for any degree. 💻 If you have the ability to think abstractly, the tasks in these jobs shouldn’t be too difficult for you!

What jobs skills does maths at university teach you

Maths students learn about advanced maths methods, which can then be applied to almost any STEM career with ease! 🔬 For example, different inference and statistical techniques will help a lot during market research in the finance sector. 🕵️

The ability to reason abstractly and argue logically also means that maths students can absorb industry knowledge more quickly compared to other non-STEM students! 💡

What you might do instead of maths

If, like many students, you’re confident in your problem-solving skills, but don’t have a knack for maths or an interest in writing mathematical arguments, a degree in Computer Science is an excellent alternative! 💻 Computer Science requires less maths, but emphasises practical puzzles and systematic thinking which help to ignite your maths skills. 🔑

University maths can sometimes be a little bit alien to new first-year students, especially with the amount of symbols and signs! 👾 In this case, a more practical STEM subject, such as Physics, Chemistry or Engineering could be a better bet than a highly theoretical pure mathematics degree. ⚗️

A combined degree is also a viable choice if you want to study another subject in-depth, or you just can’t make up your mind between two of your favourite subjects. Common choices are Mathematics and Physics, Computer Science, Economics or Philosophy (this is a little bit surprising, but due to their underlying principles of logical reasoning, maths and philosophy actually go really well together!). 🧠

What to do if you don't have the right subjects/grades to apply

One of the biggest worries for students who are planning to study at a prestigious university is whether or not they have to do A-Level Further Mathematics (FM). 🤯 Some universities, such as Cambridge and Imperial, require you to take Further Maths if your school offers it, so check uni admissions criteria first! 🚨 If your school doesn’t offer it, you’re still encouraged to apply but be sure to ask your teacher to clearly indicate this on your UCAS application form. 💪

If FM isn’t outright required, your decision depends on whether STEP (the admission test, explained later) is required in your conditional offer! If yes, it’s recommended that you take FM as a lot of the course content is required for STEP questions. 💯

If you’re not required to take STEP, it’s really up to your preferences whether you want to study FM in school or not. If you choose not to, you should still self-learn some advanced math that interests you! The simplest way to get started is to borrow a maths textbook from the library and try to complete some exercises. 📚

Needless to say, it requires a lot of determination and hard work if you want to self-learn, and it takes up a lot of your revision time too! ⏰ But in return, you’ll have a much deeper understanding about different mathematical tools and be well prepared for the self-teaching style of universities! 🤩

If you are confident, try the STEP past papers and see how many answers you can get right. Doing well in STEP may lower your entry requirements at some unis, so it’s definitely still worth looking into, even if it isn’t required! 💡

A couple of words of warning

🚫 DON’T BE ARROGANT! Sentences like “I understood calculus since I was 4” have no meaning unless that inspires you to think about something deeper about mathematics. Admissions officers want to know what you’re currently interested in and inspired by - what drives you today? Show that you are a detailed and goal-oriented person, without explicitly stating you are! 🔥

DON’T JUST SEARCH THE MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEMS IN MATHEMATICS AND SIMPLY SAY YOU ASPIRE TO SOLVE THEM! 🙄 This may seem oddly specific, but a lot of candidates talk about wanting to solve the Riemann Hypothesis or the Millenium Hardest Math Problems. If anything, this just shows that you don’t understand the prerequisites of the problems! If you’re mentioning a difficult problem in your personal statement, focus on the steps required, the solution’s implications and what you learnt from your research. Don’t get carried away by your own fantasies! 🔮

Admissions Tests & Interviews

There are 3 admissions tests that are required/beneficial when applying for a prestigious university:

• MAT (Mathematics Admission Test)
• TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Application)
• STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper),

STEP is known to be tricky! 🥴 It's used for entry to maths degrees and has 2 papers (STEP 2 and STEP 3, STEP 1 is cancelled starting from 2021), both of which require A-Level FURTHER Mathematics knowledge. In both papers, you choose 6 questions to answer out of 13 in the course of 3 hours, so play to your strengths! 💎 It’s used in applications for Cambridge (it is a must for maths!), Imperial, UCL, Warwick etc.

MAT is used for admission for Mathematics degrees AND joint hours Maths degrees. You’ll need to answer 5 questions according to the degree that you’re applying for, so read the instructions carefully. 👀 The paper is primarily focused on AS Level Mathematics (with a bit of early A-level content - check the syllabus) but this doesn’t mean that the questions are easy! This non-calculator paper challenges your understanding in the most fundamental way and requires you to carry out manipulation smartly and accurately. 🤓 It’s used in applications for Oxford (compulsory), Imperial and Warwick.

TMUA is for those who are pursuing mathematics, joint honours Maths, Computer Science 🖥️ and other related subjects. The first paper is focused on AS Level Mathematics, but uses a minor number of math terms that you may not have heard of before - check the spec! The second paper can also ask you questions from the “Logic & Proof” topic which most students haven’t studied before - there are full notes on this on the Cambridge TMUA website. 🏛️ Both papers are multiple-choice, non-calculator and usually sat back-to-back. It’s used for entry to Computer Science at Cambridge, but also for Maths at Bath, Cardiff, Durham etc.

When it comes to prep, start as early as you can! Most students start studying at the start of their year 12 -> 13 summer holiday 🏖️, but the earlier the better. The MAT test questions in particular can really help you with your math skills, so attempt as many questions as possible, even if you decide not to apply for the official test in June! 🌟

Good luck with your application, and if you have any questions about maths at uni just get in touch!

While exams might have been cancelled this summer and schools across the country shut, students should remember that it is still important that they complete the work their schools set them (provided they are fit and able to!). Not just because it’ll put them on a better footing for next year, but because this work can be used to inform their GCSE and A Level grades.

In our previous post, we highlighted how GCSE and A Level grades would be calculated for students this summer, given that exams have been cancelled.

Today, we’ll show you a few ways how students can put themselves in the best possible position to get the grades they want this summer.

Continue to complete schoolwork

While the latest government announcement states that there is no requirement for schools to set additional mock exams or work in order to inform grade judgements, schools can use work completed between schools closing on 20th March and the submission of grades to inform their judgement. In fact, many independent schools have let their students know that they will be using work set over the Easter holidays and in the summer term to help them calculate their students’ overall grades.

Be ready to take the exams at a later date

Students who are not happy with their grade this summer will be able to sit their exams at the beginning of the next academic year. This is particularly important for GCSE and A level students who might need specific grades to gain entrance to their sixth form college or university of choice. This is probably one of the most important reasons why students should continue to complete schoolwork diligently!

Have evidence of good academic performance ready

Leading up to the summer, students should compile any evidence of good academic performance in the past year. This could be used to support their case, should they wish to appeal their final grade. Suitable forms of evidence would include any homework, coursework or mock exam grades that would be able to support the appeal for a higher grade. Having this ready allows students to move through the appeals process quickly and ensures students won’t be left scrambling for evidence at the last minute!

Prepare for the next academic year

Whether it’s GCSE, A Level or university, students should take this time to get a head start on their next academic year. By starting early, students will not only be better prepared, but also have more time to explore whether certain subjects are right for them (for example, if they are not completely certain which A Levels to take) and lighten the workload when lessons finally start.

We hope this article provides both parents and students with clarity during these uncertain times. While it might feel different doing schoolwork without actually going to school, the months ahead can be very important ones.

As always, we will keep all of our readers in the loop should anything change.

In the meantime, we hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
