Students in Year 13 may not have had the usual A level experience and might need some additional support to consolidate their A level Maths knowledge and skills in order to feel confident in progressing to STEM and related subjects at university. The AMSP have gathered together resources and support provided by the AMSP to support students, including a new course for Year 13 students preparing for Higher Education and also support for Year 12 students.
Who is this support for?
This course is designed for students who are:
- currently in Year 13 or taking a gap year
- studying A level Mathematics
- planning to begin studying a degree in maths, engineering, sciences or closely related subjects such as economics in 2021 (or choosing to defer their entry until 2022)
What is it?
This is a free online course, designed to help students revise some of the later content of A level Mathematics. It offers the opportunity for an introduction to some topics studied in AS Further Mathematics, such as complex numbers and matrices, which will be helpful to those progressing to degrees in maths, physics, engineering and closely related subjects.
The course includes presentations, notes, exercises, other self-study resources and formative assessments for each topic so that students can check their progress and understanding.
How is it designed to be used?
The course is designed to allow students the flexibility to opt into the most relevant topic areas for their chosen undergraduate degree course, but of course we encourage students to study all of the topics!
How do we access it?
Students can view more detail about the course content and sign up for the course for free on the Integral website
The course will begin week commencing 28 June 2021, with resources released weekly over a six-week period.
The sessions will be recorded and students can continue to sign up for access throughout the summer.
The Advanced Mathematics Support Programme is a government-funded initiative. It aims to increase participation in Core Maths, AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics, and improve the teaching of these level 3 maths qualifications.
The programme provides national support for teachers and students in state-funded schools and colleges in England. Additional support is offered in areas of low social mobility so that, whatever their gender, background or location, students can choose their best post-16 maths pathway and have access to high quality teaching.
