COURSE OVERVIEW
Deliver AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics with greater confidence, stronger subject knowledge and practical classroom strategies.
Our Topics and Pedagogy for AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics course is designed for teachers who are planning to introduce the qualification, have recently started teaching it, or want to strengthen and extend their current approach.
Across eight interactive sessions, you will explore key topics alongside teaching approaches that support deeper understanding, fluency and mathematical thinking.
The course combines subject knowledge with pedagogy, giving you the opportunity to work through rich mathematical tasks, discuss effective classroom approaches and reflect on how ideas can be adapted for your own students.
You will also consider how to extend mathematical ideas, make meaningful connections between topics and embed these approaches within your professional practice and department curriculum.
8 online sessions
The eight online sessions will last 90 minutes and be held via Big Blue Button (BBB), which will be accessible via MEI’s learning platform, Integral.
You will also have one year of access to course-specific resources online via MEI’s learning platform, Integral.
Please ensure you are able to attend at least 75% of your chosen scheduled sessions before applying.

What you will learn
Gain practical ideas, stronger subject knowledge and greater confidence in teaching AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics.
Strengthen Subject Knowledge and Teaching
Develop your understanding of key AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics topics and explore ways to teach them that build fluency, reasoning and deeper mathematical understanding.
Explore Rich Mathematical Connections
Consider how topics can be extended beyond GCSE through carefully chosen questions, collaborative problem-solving and approaches that help.
Develop Confidence in the Classroom
Reflect on effective pedagogy, try out adaptable resources and leave with practical strategies you can use to support students and enrich your teaching practice.
I feel much more confident teaching AQA L2 FM. I feel like I have a much better understanding of how to link GCSE topics with FM topics as well which is vital when helping pupils learn the new content.
I have not taught L2 Further Maths before. To be honest, I did not have any ideas regarding the level of challenge in the exam and the structure of the questions. Also, I did not have any ideas from where to take the resources and teach the course in an attractive way. This course has offered me everything: pedagogies, resources, and interactive resources.
As part of the AMSP, you can also register for free resources via MEI’s Integral learning platform.
