Teaching and learning resources

The resources on these pages have been developed by the AMSP and the Further Mathematics Support Programme (FMSP) for your students to use to deepen understanding and enrich their mathematical diet. We have linked them to different areas of the curriculum to make it easier to identify the topics on which the activity is based. Activities can be used to introduce topics, to consolidate knowledge, to develop skills or as an extension once a topic has been completed. They vary in the level of difficulty so there should be something there for all of your students!

Extension resources

In addition to working towards these two 11-16 extension qualifications, the resources are also suitable for helping Year 11 students prepare for AS/A level Mathematics:

Resources for the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics

Resources to support the teaching and learning of this qualification are available on Integral®. Teacher access is available for free to schools that register with the AMSP.

Resources for the OCR Level 3 FSMQ in Additional Mathematics

Resources to support the teaching and learning of this qualification are available within Integral®. Teacher and student access (via shared accounts) is currently available for free to schools that register with the AMSP, as part of MEI's package of support for school/college closures.

In addition, thanks to sponsorship from OCR, subscriptions for these resources allowing individual student access and opening up the possibility of tracking progress via online tests are currently free of charge to OCR centres. Further details of this free subscription, together with an application form, are available from Integral®.

A set of six postcards and six posters are available to help you to promote Core Maths to your students, and feature problems your students can attempt. If you would like to receive printed copies of these items, please send a request to [email protected] .

We've developed a 30 minute presentation for students and parents/carers about the importance of studying maths post-GCSE. It outlines the options available, and provides compelling reasons for choosing to take an advanced maths qualification.

Overview

A free one-day professional development conference which focuses on developing confidence in working on quantitative skills at A level. This day will be valuable to any teacher whose subject includes quantitative analysis, particularly Biology, Geography and Psychology.

There are optional workshops so that you can focus on the particular mathematical requirements that feature in your course. Strategies and ideas will be provided for teachers to use in their classrooms to deepen their students' understanding and there will be an opportunity to develop confidence in working with real data using technology.

We welcome first time or returning conference delegates. As we are now offering optional workshops there is something for everyone, so please feel free to sign up if you've attended a previous conference and regardless of your level of mathematical experience.

Aims

Develop approaches for planning, teaching and assessing quantitative skills effectively within your AS and A level courses.

Understand how studying Core Maths will support students with the mathematical components of your other subjects.

Network and share ideas with fellow teachers.

Who will benefit from attending?

These conferences are aimed at non-maths teachers. If you are a maths teacher, please see here for our free conferences for you.

We welcome first time or returning conference delegates.

Content

Delegates will have the opportunity to select two workshops and will also attend a session on using technology.
Technology Session
Is there a link between BMI and blood pressure? Is there a link between GDP and life expectancy? Is there a link between IQ and brain size? In this session we'll take a look at the ideas around correlation and show how using technology can help students visualise these concepts easily. Delegates are requested to bring a smartphone or a WiFi-enabled tablet for this session.
You will select one workshop from the following for the first optional session:

Session Title

Session Description

Making the Call

This session will explore the accessible conceptual underpinnings of statistical inference and how learners can begin to "make the call" when working with samples and reasoning in uncertain situations. It is aimed at teachers who are new to teaching formal statistical tests or who would like to know more about current research-based recommendations for statistics teachers. Ideally most of the conceptual foundations for statistical tests would be developed alongside students' very first experiences of data handling; this session will focus on how simple ideas suitable for learners at KS2, 3 and 4 can be explored by older learners to help make complex statistical ideas accessible and intuitive.

Chi Squared Tests

This session will look at the use of chi squared tests in A level Biology, Geography and Psychology. It will include ideas for teaching the concepts to students. No previous knowledge is expected.

Teaching Averages and Spread

During the session we will model approaches of the teaching of averages and standard deviation. We will also look at how they are assessed in other A levels. No prior Level 3 teaching knowledge is expected.

You will select one workshop from the following for the second optional session:

Session Title

Session Description

Teaching Percentages

Despite students first encountering percentages in Year 5 it can continue to be a challenging topic for some students at A level or Level 3. This session will explore different approaches to teaching percentages and will demonstrate how visual representations can support students understanding and ability to problem solve. You will leave this session with strategies to take back to your classroom and easy ways to embed the teaching of percentages throughout your course.

Interpreting Graphs

You only have to open a newspaper...or social media application...to be bombarded with graphical information. Are our students being equipped to deal with this information overload? This session will focus on how information presented in graphical form provides teachers with an opportunity to inspire curiosity in their learners, deepen understanding and hook them into contexts within and beyond the curriculum.

t-tests

This session will look at the use of t-tests in A level Biology and Geography. It will include ideas for teaching the concepts to students. No previous knowledge is expected.

Eligibility

Priority will be given to teachers from state-funded schools and colleges.

Programme

Cost

This conference is free of charge to state-funded schools and colleges. Schools and colleges located within AMSP Priority Areas are eligible for a further subsidy of £250 in addition to their course fee reimbursement. Please visit the AMSP subsidies page for more information.

This qualification is now withdrawn and we are no longer able to take learner registrations. The support materials for this qualification will not be updated.
Performance
The 16-18 accountability measures technical guidance states that the current annex J shows 'Level 3 qualifications for the TechBacc in 2018'. As the NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics for Everyday Life - 603/3437/X won't be eligible for the TechBacc until 2020, the technical guidance will not be updated by DfE until the next update in June 2020.
About this qualification
This qualification has been developed in conjunction with the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT). The qualification meets the Core Maths Technical Guidance published by the Department for Education (DfE) and is approved for inclusion in the 16-19 performance tables from 2020. Core Maths has been introduced by the DfE to address the issue of poor progression in mathematics from age 16, by offering an opportunity for students not studying AS or A level mathematics to study a Level 3 mathematics course alongside their main programme of study. This qualification is therefore suitable for use within a Study Programme.
What does this qualification cover?
This qualification enables post 16 learners to retain, deepen and extend their mathematical understanding. This is achieved through using mathematics to solve meaningful and relevant problems which will prepare learners for university, academic or vocational learning, employment and life. The word 'life' in our qualification title refers to all aspects of future needs.

This qualification addresses the specific needs of learners by providing a core of key themes. These are based in part on specific contexts and areas of interest that will complement a learner's main programme of study.

The key themes are:

* A: Understanding personal finance
* B: Understanding commerce
* C: Understanding chance
* D: Understanding data.

Mathematical problem solving will be contextualised in the following vocations and areas of interest in:

* business and administration
* engineering and manufacturing
* health and science.
Who is it suitable for?
This qualification is designed for post-16 learners studying a Key Stage 5 curriculum. The qualification is suitable for those with a grade of 4 or above in GCSE maths at age 16 (or equivalent), who are not taking AS/A Level maths or a Level 3 International Baccalaureate (IB) mathematics certificate as part of their 16-18 study programme.
How is it assessed?
The assessment for the Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics for Everyday Life consists of 2 written external assessment papers. Each learner is required to undertake both papers in the same series. Learners must achieve enough marks from across the external assessment papers to gain the Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics for Everyday Life.
How long will it take to complete this qualification?
This qualification is designed to be taken over 2 years. Although centres may run the qualification over a shorter period of time at their discretion.
Career opportunities
Learners who achieve this qualification could use the qualification to progress to a range of higher education courses and/or employment, across a broad range of academic, professional, creative and technical fields. For example, the inclusion of decision mathematics and statistics as well as graphical techniques will prepare learners for careers in management, finance, business, engineering, manufacturing, health, science, geographical studies, agriculture, operational research and industry as well as preparing learners for further educational study.
UCAS Points
The qualification will attract the following UCAS points*:

* A: 20
* B: 16
* C: 12
* D: 10
* E: 6
Performance Points
The qualification will attract the following performance points in the 16-19 performance tables:

* A: 25
* B: 20
* C: 15
* D: 10
* E: 5
External Assessment Timetable
