View sample resources
See the downloads section below for sample resources from the Core Maths Platform. Resources on the platform are kept up-to-date on an ongoing basis, so they may differ from the versions below.
Access
The Core Maths Platform is available to all schools and colleges registered with the AMSP for 2023/24. After your registration has been processed by our team, the teacher named as your contact will receive a username and password, giving access to the Core Maths resources for the qualification(s) you specified on the registration form.
Support
Navigating your way around the platform can feel overwhelming at first. We recommend attending one of our online workshops on Using the Core Maths platform. This workshop will provide you with a hands-on tour of the key features of the platform.
If you have any queries about the Core Maths Platform, please contact admin@amsp.org.uk.
