Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI): Enabling access to Further Mathematics project/on-line learning

Aim

To widen access to AS/A-level Further Mathematics qualifications to all students and to provide on-line resources for AS/A-level Mathematics and other Mathematics courses.

Background

Enabling access to further Mathematics

  • Further Mathematics students are tutored through collaboration between schools, colleges and universities, making use of resources on a purpose-written web-site
  • Following the DfES response to the Smith Inquiry into Post-14 Mathematics, the DfES are currently funding 46 centres supporting Further Mathematics students nationwide.

On-line learning

  • Hundreds of schools and colleges currently use the on-line AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics resources with several thousand students with individual passwords.
  • Last academic year we are ran a pilot project to provide on-line resources to support the ‘Engineering Maths 1’ course at the University of the West of England.
  • We are also producing on-line resources to support the Additional Mathematics Free Standing Mathematics Qualification for mathematically able year 11 students to study alongside GCSE.
