NCETM support for parents and teachers during school closures...  Visit  www.ncetm.org.uk/  to find two new areas of the website designed to support parents/carers and teachers of primary and secondary school children throughout the period of school closures. All the resources are free to access and do not require a login, see the attached information sheet for further details.

Material designed to help teachers and students of A level Maths ... Our colleagues at the Advanced Maths Support Programme (AMSP) also have a wealth of  new material designed to help teachers and students  of A level Maths, Further Maths and Core Maths, and there’s a substantial new national resource of daily lessons in all subjects for all age groups, on the BBC Bitesize platform,  endorsed by several well-known names in their fields.

The Education Endowment Foundation- This rapid evidence assessment examines the existing research (from 60 systematic reviews and meta-analyses) for approaches that schools could use, or are already using, to support the learning of pupils while schools are closed due to Covid-19.   

The Royal Geographical Society has teamed up with the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) to launch a new  Geography and Core Maths initiative. This will focus 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 beyond.
