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 Mathematics professional development opportunities.
An extended professional development course, designed to support the development of teaching skills and subject knowledge of teachers new to teaching AS/A level Mathematics.
An extended professional development course for teachers wishing to build their confidence in teaching mechanics. TM1 covers the mechanics content from all major specifications for AS/A level Mathematics.
An extended professional development course for teachers wishing to build their confidence in teaching statistics. TS1 covers the statistics content from all major specifications for AS/A level Mathematics.
Our acclaimed annual four-day summer school is designed to develop pedagogical knowledge and improve teaching skills, aiming to give you the confidence to teach for understanding and engagement, rather than ‘teaching to the test’.
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.
An opportunity to improve or refresh your subject knowledge of the main topics that typically feature in the second year of A level Mathematics: Pure.
An opportunity to improve or refresh your subject knowledge of the main mechanics topics that typically feature in AS & A level Mathematics.
An opportunity to improve or refresh their subject knowledge of the main statistics topics that typically feature in AS & A level Mathematics.
An opportunity for those who have never taught AS or A level Pure maths before to access expert tuition for the content along with ideas for delivering material in an active and engaging way.
An opportunity for teachers who are already familiar with AS level Pure maths to look at pedagogical approaches and engaging activities. You’ll also consider the use of technology in embedding key ideas and the style of recent examination questions.
One-day professional development conference, designed to support teachers of AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
Developing A level Pedagogy Work Groups provide support for the effective development of pedagogy in the teaching of A level Mathematics, to enhance the quality of teaching and the conceptual understanding of students, and the development of participants as leaders of A level teaching professional development in their own school or college.
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.
Initial Teacher Training
If your school/college is involved in Initial Teacher Training, you might be interested to know that the AMSP is running day-long courses in twenty universities on aspects of teaching A level Mathematics for groups of trainee teachers. Contact us for details.
PD Videos
Our PD videos provide ideas for how overarching themes and technology can be incorporated into lessons for AS/A level Mathematics (and Further Mathematics)
