Teacher Network Meetings
The AMSP organises many local teacher networks around the country. The networks focus on sharing good practice, professional development and promoting developments in teaching and learning.
Meetings usually take place once each term after school and the agenda for each meeting is set by the network members. Joining one of these networks can be a great way to get to know other mathematics teachers in your region and share ideas. It also give members the chance to request input on particular curriculum areas or educational developments which can be provided by inviting expert speakers to present at a meeting.
Most of the networks focus on teaching and learning for post-16 mathematics, but an increasing number of networks now offer support for, or specialise in, Key Stage 4 maths.
For more information about forthcoming meetings or how to get involved, please email the Area Coordinator responsible for a particular network.
If there is currently no network near you and you would be interested in helping to run one in your area, contact your local AMSP Area Coordinator to discuss how to get involved.

A Level Maths Preparing the Student
The East Midlands (Derby) Teacher Network is an AMSP-funded project, allowing teachers of KS4 and KS5 Mathematics to meet, collaborate and to share best practice.

The North Nottingham Network is an AMSP-funded project which will allow teachers to meet and discuss aspects of teaching A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics as well as ways to prepare 11-16 students for A Level study. We meet regularly throughout the year and focus on topics requested by members of the group.
At A level students are required to translate situations in context into models and then apply the model. They need to recognise the limitations of the model and how to refine it. We will explore what this means in the context of statistics and how best to prepare students to respond to modelling questions.
