Summary
Topics and pedagogy for AQA Level 2 FM is a live online professional development course in our Subject Knowledge Live suite, designed to support teachers with delivering and embedding the AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics course. The sessions will include a combination of subject knowledge and pedagogy and will require active participation.
The course develops strategies and ideas for taking a piece of mathematics and extending it, exploring the connections which deepen understanding and develop fluency, and which can be used immediately in the classroom. There will be opportunities to consider how these concepts and resources could be embedded in professional practice and contribute towards the ambition and intent of the department’s curriculum.
