Core Maths student conference is a big success

Core Maths in the East Midlands

Core Maths entries have more than doubled in the East Midlands over the last four years, and the number of institutions offering the subject has increased from 40 to over 70.

Work Groups: Collaborative PD local to the East Midlands

During the past academic year, the AMSP and Maths Hubs have worked in collaboration on three Level 3 Work Groups: Supporting Core Maths, Embedding A level Technology and Developing A level Pedagogy.

What is Core Maths, and why should we offer it?

Core Maths is the new level 3 qualification for students who achieved at least a Grade 4 (formerly a Grade C) at GCSE mathematics and wish to develop their number and statistics skills so they may apply these in study, work and everyday life.

Supporting your students to find the right course and apply for it successfully

Recently we held another of our online Moving on with Maths events. We’ve previously held one of these events with the University of Nottingham and the University of Lincoln but, this time, we were joined by staff from Loughborough University and the University of Northampton.

Maths Feasts are back in town

After nearly two years of no face-to-face enrichment, the AMSP’s Maths Feasts are back with a vengeance! This very popular Year 10 event was delivered to schools in the Gainsborough, Grimsby and Grantham area, and was received with great anticipation and vigour.
