COURSE OVERVIEW

Help your high-attaining students turn A grade potential into A* results.

This on-demand professional development course complements the masterclasses as part of the mA*ths and Further mA*ths Programme. The course gives teachers structured, practical support to challenge and stretch able learners to achieve top grades in their exams.

The course has two parts:

  • Part 1 focuses on Year 12 (AS) content
  • Part 2 on Year 13 A level content, and you can enrol on either or both.

Each unit includes four recurring page types—Spotlight on…, Differentiation, A challenging task, and Unpicking a question (drawn from the accompanying student course).

You will have access to short videos and prompts for reflection. You’ll collaborate with peers and tutors via online forums and can access materials any time, day or night, for up to one year.

By the end, you will have a bank of adaptable resources and approaches across core A level topics. You will have deeper insight into the mathematics and pedagogy that most benefits high‑attainers, and have a supportive professional network focused on raising attainment to A*.

On-demand modules

Part 1 consists of six on-demand modules, and Part 2 consists of seven on-demand modules. All modules will be accessed via MEI’s Integral Learning Platform.
