Who can take part?
This is ideal for existing leaders of A level teaching or experienced teachers of A level Mathematics who wish to lead the development of pedagogy with other colleagues in their own or other schools.
If you’ve participated in this Work Group in previous years, you are welcome to join again as each year has a different focus and will include new content.
What is involved?
This Work Group supports experienced A level teachers to not only further develop their expertise but provide a model to support departmental change.
For 2025/26, the Work Group content will focus on Mathematical language, argument and proof:
- reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning
- generalise mathematically
- construct mathematical proofs
There will be be opportunities to develop Problem Solving in lessons. Plus the participants’ own needs will help to shape the content as the Work Group proceeds.
The Work Group involves a direct working partnership between the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) and some of the sessions will involve joining up with AMSP sessions.
What will you learn?
- You will understand the purpose of the overarching themes, including use of technology, and their impact on teaching and learning in A level Maths
- You and your department will have better understanding of how ideas behind teaching for mastery can be used in the classroom
- You and your department will have a deeper understanding of content pedagogic knowledge for A Level Maths
- Your students will have a deeper conceptual understanding of the A level Maths content
What is the cost?
The Developing A Level Pedagogy Work Group is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme and the AMSP so is provided completely free to participating state-funded schools/colleges.
Where & when?
3 x half day face-to-face sessions plus 2 x online sessions which include joining national AMSP sessions.
In addition the Work Group Lead will either organise a visit to your school, or a lesson observation to be arranged once the Work Group has begun.
what do i do next?
We are currently planning dates/venues for our Work Groups. In the meantime we encourage you to register your interest to participate in 2026/27 and we’ll be in touch as soon as registration opens.
