The AMSP provides a wide range of A level Mathematics professional development, offered in flexible formats to suit your needs and availability. Many of these opportunities are free.
The Events Calendar provides details of all of our professional development events. Below is a list of our A level Further Mathematics professional development opportunities.
Discrete maths features in all AS/A level Further Mathematics specifications, albeit under different titles:
- Discrete Mathematics – AQA and OCR A
- Decision Mathematics – Edexcel
- Modelling with Algorithms – OCR B (MEI)
Teaching Discrete Mathematics (TD) is an extended professional development course for teachers wishing to build their confidence in teaching this content, and covers the discrete maths material common to all AS level Further Mathematics specifications.
An extended professional development course for teachers wishing to develop their own subject knowledge and classroom practice in teaching A level Further Mathematics. It covers at least the pure material common to all AS level Further Mathematics specifications.
An extended professional development course for teachers wishing to develop their own subject knowledge and classroom practice in teaching A level Further Mathematics. It covers the pure material common to all A level Further Mathematics specifications.
An extended professional development course for teachers wishing to further build their confidence in teaching statistics. TS2 covers most of the statistics content from all major specifications for AS/A level Further Mathematics.
An extended professional development course for teachers wishing to build their confidence in teaching mechanics. TM2 covers the mechanics content from all major specifications for AS/A level Further Mathematics.
An opportunity for those who have never taught AS Further Mathematics before to study key topics from a pedagogical angle. You’ll also consider the use of technology in embedding key ideas and the style of recent examination questions.
This online course supports you to understand how best to assist your students with the transition to undergraduate study, and how to prepare them for the mathematical expectations of university admissions tests.
Explore the challenges of leadership in a maths department and tap into the experience of both tutors and participants. Examples of active learning in A level Mathematics, A level Further Mathematics and Core Maths will be modelled by the tutors, and participants will be encouraged to share their approaches in a workshop discussion.
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.
One-day professional development conference, designed to support teachers of AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
Our Further Mathematics Conferences explore engaging ways of teaching Further Mathematics and provide insight into supporting students with university admissions tests.
The conferences offer a range of different sessions aimed at teachers with different levels of experience. There’s something for all teachers of Further Mathematics, including sessions on pure maths, mechanics, statistics and discrete maths, as well as advice on preparing students for university admissions tests.
PD Videos
Our PD videos provide ideas for how overarching themes and technology can be incorporated into AS/A level Further Mathematics lessons
Further Mathematics Conferences
You might also be interested in presentations, recordings and resources dating back to 2019 from our annual Further Mathematics Conference. These provide interesting and stimulating ways of introducing Further Mathematics topics in the classroom and give teachers an insight into supporting students with the MAT, TMUA and STEP examinations.
