Re-enfranchising Mathematically-alienated Students: Teacher and Tutor Perceptions of the Getting Ready in Numeracy (G.R.I.N.) Program

Abstract: This paper outlines a tutoring initiative intended to re-engage students who have become alienated from mathematics class at school. The initiative is focused on priming students for their subsequent mathematics lessons, and is referred to as "Getting Ready in Numeracy" (G.R.I.N.). Following a discussion outlining the principles of G.R.I.N., data from interviews with G.R.I.N. tutors and classroom teachers are presented. Findings suggest that participating in G.R.I.N. enhanced student engagement in mathematics … Show more

“…G.R.I.N. primarily targets students who are in the 20th to 40th percentile in terms of their current mathematics performance, and in particular, the subset of students within this group who appear disengaged in mathematics classes due to confusion or a lack of understanding of key ideas (Kalogeropoulos et al, 2020). Students attend at least three G.R.I.N.…”

“…Schools are encouraged to try and select students who can realistically 'catch-up' to their peers through the duration of their participation (which is generally 6 to 12 months). Consequently, schools are encouraged to try and recruit students achieving in the second bottom quintile, whose lack of engagement in mathematics appears to arise from confusion with the content (Kalogeropoulos et al, 2020). For a more detailed discussion unpacking the mechanics of the G.R.I.N.…”
