Overview

Students taking Level 3 Core Maths have access to pre-release material one to two months before their exam so that they can become familiar with some of the contexts that they will encounter.

The pre-release documents for AQA and OCR specifications are made available in March whilst those for the Edexcel specification are released in April.

It can often be a challenge to work out how to get the most out of the material and is particularly overwhelming in your first few years of teaching the course. Our pre-release discussion meetings are an opportunity to discuss and share ideas and will support you in helping your students best prepare for their exam.

Following the session, you will also get access and be encouraged to contribute to a collection of shared activities (for example, AQA pre-release ideas 2023).

If you would like additional support with the delivery of Core Maths, you can request to work with one of our Core Maths specialist leads.

Who will benefit from attending?

These meetings are designed for anyone already teaching Core Maths, regardless of your experience. The meetings will be led by AMSP facilitators, and we encourage you to attend if you like to share, discuss and collaborate. A significant part of the session will be spent collaborating with other teachers in breakout rooms.

Materials and equipment

We aim to emulate as much of the ‘face-to-face’ experience as possible. Participants should expect to be proactive in communicating during sessions, so the use of microphones is mandatory. Additionally, we also strongly encourage you to attend with a webcam.

Other information

We hope that teachers attending these meetings will feel inspired to share ideas and resources about the source materials for their specification beyond the meeting. There will be information provided in the meeting about how to do this.

Teachers who sign up will be emailed in the days prior to the webinar and again on the day of the webinar with a link to the online meeting room.
