Develop improved teaching approaches for A level Mathematics.
What is involved?
This Work Group supports A level teachers with at least 2 years’ experience in the classroom, to not only further develop their expertise but to provide a model to support departmental change.
The content of individual Work Groups will be linked to the Overarching Themes of the A level qualification (problem solving and mathematical thinking; mathematical modelling and representations; proof, reasoning and mathematical communication), with a particular focus for 2025-26 on ‘Oracy – developing mathematical reasoning in the classroom’.
Participants will have the opportunity to plan and prepare a practice development task within the Work Group sessions.
Who can take part?
Participants should be existing leaders of A level teaching or teachers with at least 2 years’ experience of teaching A Level, and who have delivered the Pure content through to A2.
This project would be particularly useful to those who may have already completed other (AMSP) A level courses such as Teaching A level Mathematics (TAM) or Preparing to Teach A level Mathematics.
Benefits
- Your students will have a deeper conceptual understanding of the A level Maths content through learning to articulate and reason carefully.
- You will understand the purpose of the Overarching Themes, including use of technology, and their impact on teaching and learning in A level Maths.
- You and your department will be equipped to better support the development of stronger subject knowledge pedagogy.
What is the cost?
The Work Groups are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so are free to participating schools.
