Imperial mA*ths and Further mA*ths Project
Help your high-attaining students achieve an A* in A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
These exciting professional development courses are designed to prepare you to help your high-attaining students achieve an A* in A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Open to all teachers of A level maths subjects from state-funded schools and colleges, these courses are perfect if you want to explore in-depth aspects of maths content and pedagogy.
Programme Overview
The Imperial mA*ths and Further mA*ths Project is professional development for Year 12 and 13 A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics teachers created with Imperial College London.
These exciting professional development courses are designed to prepare you to help your high-attaining students achieve an A* in A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
Explore in-depth aspects of maths content and pedagogy with the opportunity to attend a live masterclass as well as access on-demand modules via the AMSP.
The courses are designed to complement Imperial College London’s student mA*ths and Further mA*ths programmes; find out more by visiting Imperial’s website here.
Programme Details
Open to all teachers of A level maths subjects from state-funded schools and colleges.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses in the top Russell Group universities often ask for an A* in A Level Mathematics and sometimes Further Mathematics. This may lead to the following questions:
What is the best way to identify “A* potential” in students studying these subjects?
What can you do to support students aiming for the top grades?
Are there other resources for self-study and extension you could point students to?
If you’re a teacher of A Level Mathematics or Further Mathematics in a state-funded school, particularly if some of your students are working with social disadvantage, our courses will help you support them to achieve their very best.
How it works
The project consists of a mix of on-demand learning via MEI’s AMSP programme and in-person masterclasses at Imperial College London.
On-Demand
To apply for the On-Demand part of the project, you will be redirected to the AMSP website to sign up for your chosen course.
Each course will have a Year 12 section and a Year 13, you can sign up to do as many of the courses as you wish.
Applications for courses are open now.
In-Person Masterclass
We also have a one-day, in-person masterclass event, which will take place at Imperial College London on Wednesday, 18 June.
Please register your interest for this event below.
The A level Further mA*ths course will consist of one combined course of Year 12 and 13 topics. While the A level mA*ths will run as two separate sessions for Year 12 and for Year 13.
This day will comprise of sessions which focus on your choice of these three areas: Year 12 maths, Year 13 maths and further maths (including both AS and A level content), along with sessions which are common to all teachers attending.
The in-person masterclasses at Imperial College London will complement the online course content, and it is expected that at least one of the on-demand courses will be completed before attending the in-person event. The in-person event will be run with MEI.
The funding for our suite of Imperial mA*ths and Further mA*ths courses is conditional on us only offering this to teachers supporting students in state-funded schools and colleges. Under these conditions, we are not permitted to charge for this course.
