School of Mathematics

Mathematics into schools modules

Year group: Y7-13
Dates: October to April

Undergraduate students are placed within your school or college with a remit to act as a role model and help organise mathematics activities within the school e.g. through lessons or extra-curricular clubs. The student will organise a mathematics-based project with the aim of promoting the excitement of mathematics to secondary school students.

AS or A2 level Further Mathematics

Year group: Y12-13
We recommend that you register on the Further Maths Support Programme (FMSP) site to gain access to resources for teaching AS and A2 Further Mathematics (including all application modules) as well as GCSE extension exercises.
The FMSP organise tuition in AS or A2 level Further Mathematics for students who cannot access the subject in school. This may be online tuition or in school or, as may be the case in Leeds, a class of students from several schools attending lessons at the University on Wednesday afternoons.

CPD for teachers

One of the main aims of the Further Maths Support Programme is CPD and many events are organised throughout the region in the teaching of A level Mathematics and A level Further Mathematics. Recent events include ‘Using ICT in the teaching of A level Mathematics’ and ‘Engaging students with Statistics’. We hold regular meetings for Further Mathematics teachers to get together to discuss resources and ideas. At a recent meeting resources for teaching Complex Numbers were shared.
