Overview

These On Demand Professional Development (ODPD) pods are designed to support teachers offering Core Maths or considering offering Core Maths, especially those who are using the Integral Core Maths platform and those teaching topics from Core Maths in other subject areas.

The course comprises a series of 'pods', designed to complement our Live Online Professional Development (LOPD) course Core Maths common topics. When complete, this will provide teachers with professional development covering all aspects of the existing Core Maths qualifications.

In each pod, teachers will experience a variety of content including:

short videos explaining the ideas behind the topic

practice materials

triggers for reflection and suggestions for further study.

Teachers will be encouraged to interact and collaborate with others studying the same material via the online forums. An expert tutor will be monitoring the forums and will respond to queries.

The course offers total flexibility; teachers can access the materials, day or night, over a period of up to one year. Teachers will be able to track their progress within the course and to see when they have completed a section or a pod.

Aims

To introduce teachers to a range of techniques which will enable them to work more confidently with students studying Core Maths or using elements of Core Maths in other subject areas.

To provide opportunities to reflect on subject content, resources and teaching ideas and to discuss these with other teachers via the course forums.

To provide support for teachers using the Core Maths platform with their students.

Who will benefit from attending?

All teachers involved in the delivery of Core Maths and those teachers of other subjects which contain elements of the Core Maths course.

Content

Access is available based on the specification or subject you are offering. If you prefer, you may choose to access all the topics on offer. This table shows which topics are relevant to which Core Maths specification. Teachers of other subjects will be able to select 'Core Maths topics for teachers of other subjects' on the application form.

*Timings are approximate and suggest the required time for a topic to be counted on a certificate of participation. Further resources are linked from each section and so participants may, if they wish, spend more time than this in consolidating and reflecting on the content. You do not need to complete all sections to request a certificate.

Materials and Equipment

Internet connection with the capability to watch video.

Eligibility

Due to the way we are funded, this project is only available to teachers currently working in a state-funded school or college in England.

Cost

ODPD is free of charge for qualifying teachers.

The Maths Hubs network exists to support all schools in England. Each Maths Hub serves schools in a specified group of named local council areas. For schools in every area in England, there is a Maths Hub providing support. To find your Maths Hub, click on the link to a hub in your region, and see if your school's local council area is listed at the top of the corresponding page.
New search tool We are also developing an online search tool, and interactive map (which may not work on all devices and browsers) which associates each Maths Hub to a school name, Unique Reference Number (URN) and postcode.

The Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) is delighted to be working with the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) to launch a new Geography and Core Maths initiative, funded by the DfE.

A level Geography provides an important opportunity for young people to develop their confidence and competence in using mathematical, quantitative and statistical techniques as these skills are a requirement of geography specifications.

The initiative focuses on building support for the circa 80% of young geographers who currently do not study maths beyond the age of 16, and raising awareness of how Core Maths can support geography students during their A levels and transition to undergraduate studies in geography. It will also provide CPD for geography teachers, online resources and other support.

Charlie Stripp, Chief Executive of MEI, said:
MEI, who manage the AMSP, is delighted to be working with the RGS to inform teachers and stakeholders about Core Maths and promote its uptake. Core Maths focuses on the application of maths to situations that students are likely to come across in future life, work and study and will enable students to have greater confidence in working with the mathematical and statistical techniques they encounter in A level Geography and beyond.
Steve Brace, Head of Education at the Royal Geographical Society, says:
In recruiting almost equal number of female and male students, A level Geography provides an important opportunity for all young people to develop their confidence and competence in using mathematical, quantitative and statistical techniques. These skills are all requirements of the geography specifications and the RGS is delighted to be working with the AMSP to launch our new Geography and Core Maths initiative.
If your school would like to get involved please get in touch on [email protected]

Visit the RGS website for more details on the project.
