New UCL IOE Report: Gender and Participation in Mathematics and Further Mathematics
Posted: 08/03/2017
UCL Institute of Education has just completed a report on five case studies conducted on behalf of the Further Mathematics Support Programme.
The report provides useful insights into how five schools/colleges have succeeded in encouraging greater proportions of girls to continue studying A level Mathematics. Offering girls the opportunity to attempt challenging mathematics in Key Stage 4 together with flexible support, advice and guidance, helps to create a positive culture that girls can succeed in advanced mathematics.
The FMSP will consider how to implement the recommendations based on the outcomes from this research to help more schools/colleges to encourage girls’ participation in mathematics. See also the FMSP Encouraging Girls to Take Mathematics web page.
