The AMSP offers professional development for teachers of maths at Key Stages 3 and 4.
The events calendar provides details of all of our professional development events. You will find a number of opportunities designed to meet a range of needs. These opportunities are often free.
This series of online sessions supports teachers with delivering and embedding the AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics course.
The course develops strategies and ideas for taking a piece of mathematics and extending it, exploring the connections which deepen understanding and develop fluency, and which can be used immediately in the classroom.
There will be opportunities to consider how these concepts and resources could be embedded in professional practice and contribute towards the ambition and intent of the department’s curriculum.
The best heads of departments inspire through passionate teaching. They also genuinely care about developing the team they lead and are able to maintain a wider perspective on students’ educational experiences as a whole. This sustained professional development course is suitable for any new or aspiring head of mathematics who wishes to reflect upon this demanding role and learn strategies to increase their own effectiveness.

Teaching with Desmos webinars
The Desmos Graphing Calculator is a free tool that can be used on laptops, tablets and phones.
In 2024, the AMSP hosted a series of webinars exploring how the effective use of Desmos can help to deepen students’ understanding of topics in GCSE and A level Mathematics.
The webinars will support you in developing your use of the Desmos graphing calculator or the Desmos geometry tool. These are very easy-to-use tools that will help you to integrate the use of technology into both your GCSE and A level mathematics lessons.
