Imperial Further mA*ths project teacher support
Online Self-paced studyOverview
In each unit of this online course, teachers will see pages titled:
- Spotlight on...
- Differentiation
- A challenging task
- Unpicking a question (from Imperial’s accompanying student online course).
Each page includes a short video and some prompts for reflection. Participating teachers are required to interact and collaborate with each other and the course tutors via the online forums.
The course offers total flexibility: teachers can access the materials, day or night, over a period of up to one year. Teachers will be able to track their progress within the course and see when they have completed a section, a pod or the full course. The course is being made freely available for state-funded schools and colleges through the AMSP.
Aims
- To support teachers of high attaining A level Further Mathematics students through providing and demonstrating practical resources and approaches, adaptable across a range of A level topics.
- To explore, in depth, aspects of mathematics content and pedagogy.
- To create a forum through which teachers can analyse all aspects of the course content with other teachers and course tutors.
Who will benefit from attending?
Teachers with one or more high attaining A level Further Mathematics students.
Content
| Course section | Approximate time to complete* |
|---|---|
| Unit 1: Introduction to Matrices | 4 hours |

*Timings are approximate and suggest the required time for a topic to be counted on a certificate of participation. Further resources are linked from each section and so participants may, if they wish, spend more time than this in consolidating and reflecting on the content.
