The AMSP can provide support for students in state-funded schools and colleges who would benefit from studying AS/A level Further Mathematics in cases where it can’t be offered in your school/college. We offer support for AS or A level maths and can also work with you to share the teaching and help you to establish your own provision in future.
Support for state-funded schools and colleges is provided through our Further Mathematics Online Programme, which includes access to self-teaching resources and weekly tutorials. Your AMSP Area Coordinator can advise you about this, or you can contact the FM Online Programme Coordinator.
There’s also a series of videos to support your own teaching of AS/A level Further Mathematics.
We enable 150 students to study A level Further Mathematics each year through our online programme. Students who would otherwise have no access to the qualification
The former Further Mathematics Support Programme produced a series of short videos to support the content of AS/A level Further Mathematics. These videos are 5-10 minutes long and break the content into bite-sized pieces. These videos will introduce students to concepts so that they can learn the material for each section by working through appropriate examples.
Individual videos are provided for each of the four main AS/A level specifications (AQA, Edexcel, MEI and OCR). Over 1000 videos have been authored by experienced Further Mathematics teachers.
Options supported
We have videos that support the compulsory pure content of each specification as well as the following optional components:
AQA
- Discrete
- Mechanics
- Statistics
Edexcel
- Decision 1
- Mechanics 1
- Statistics 1
- Further Pure 1
OCR A
- Discrete
- Mechanics
OCR B (MEI)
- Modelling with Algorithms
- Numerical Methods
- Mechanics a
- Statistics a
- Further Pure with Technology
You can apply for individual Integral® accounts for your students that will give them access to the FM videos plus all of the Integral resources for AS/A level Further Mathematics. In addition, you will get access to the management system so you can monitor your students’ progress. Each state school or college in England can apply for up to five free accounts for the 2024-25 academic year. Additional accounts are charged at £30 per student per academic year. To apply, please complete this form.
The AMSP provides online support for students. This support consists of access to a wide range of resources: videos, notes, walkthroughs, interactive books, exercises and tests, together with 30 weekly online tutorials of 60-70 minutes. The tutorials take place in the evenings and consist of students from different schools and colleges across England. Tutors also provide support between sessions and mark periodic topic assessments.
Group sizes are small, usually between one and eight students per tutor. All of our tutors are experienced teachers of Further Mathematics.
We will be offering the following routes through A level and AS Further Mathematics in 2024-25, subject to reaching a minimum number for each group to run:
AS Further Mathematics
These are for Year 12 students in their first year of an A level course or for Year 12 or 13 students wishing to take an AS course of study. All routes support the compulsory pure content of each specification, as well as the following optional components:
AQA
- Discrete and Mechanics
- Discrete and Statistics
Edexcel
Two options from:
- Decision 1
- Mechanics 1
- Statistics 1
- Further Pure
OCR B (MEI)
- Modelling with Algorithm
- Mechanics
A level Further Mathematics
These are for Year 13 students who have already studied the first year of the course equivalent to the AS. All routes support the compulsory pure content of each specification, as well as the following optional components:
AQA
- Discrete and Mechanics
- Discrete and Statistics
Edexcel
- Decision 1
- Mechanics 1
- Statistics 1
- Further Pure 1
OCR B (MEI)
One option:
- Statistics a
The courses will start the second week of September.
We offer the AS course over one year and A level over two years. We do not offer an accelerated one year course for A level. Our courses are designed for those studying A level Maths in parallel.
The fee for the Further Mathematics Online programme is £400 per student. To discuss signing your students up for the programme, please contact your local AMSP Area Coordinator or the FM Online Programme Coordinator.
