Two marvellous opportunities not to be missed

Working together to enrich our students’ experience of maths is at the heart of our work. Below are two not to be missed opportunities for maths teachers available in the spring term.

Interview techniques

We’ve just delivered a number of mock interviews to prospective Oxbridge candidates, and it seemed a timely reminder to think ahead to other potential interviews in the new year.

Changes to Online Meetings since Lockdown: a brief report on Merseyside Network Meetings 2020-21

“Our standard KS5 Network meetings … are no longer viable. So, like most other organisations, we had to take to Zoom (or the AMSP equivalent, BBB) to bridge the gap. And we found that … everything is still possible! In particular, as long as cameras and audio are switched on, the part of the meetings most valued by teachers, namely discussion with colleagues, remains just as effective.”

Building students’ resilience in maths

Back in the days before lockdown, I delivered a face-to-face professional development session for teachers that explored ways to build up students’ confidence and resilience in maths.

Using videos for modelling practical maths

I’ve always been a fan of using practical experiments in both mechanics and statistics, and I really felt that their value to students justify the time spent setting up and running them.

North West Further Maths Conference

The North West Further Maths two-day conference has been running for many years now. We have always wanted to promote and support the teaching of A level Further Mathematics and allow as many people as possible to access their choice of session.

Ten for 10! Ten brand new enrichment resources for Year 10 and transition materials for Year 11

A set of ten enrichment activities for Year 10 students are available on the AMSP website. These resources are designed to take students beyond the curriculum and enable them to experience some interesting and fun applications of maths.

The AMSP’s Core Maths Online Festival

Our Core Maths Online Festival is made up of an online series of webinars. Some sessions focus on specific Core Maths content and pedagogy, whereas others focus more generally on applications of maths in the real world.
