Aims of this meeting • To bring together teachers who teach Further Mathematics and those who are hoping to teach it in the future • To collectively discuss issues affecting teachers who offer (or wish to offer) a Further Mathematics qualification to students in their school/college • To begin to explore ways that teachers can engage in CPD; identifying existing and potential opportunities
About the FMSP The Further Mathematics Support Programme (FMSP) follows on from the Further Mathematics Network (FMN) It is managed by the same team of people at MEI who set up and ran the FMN and who are working in partnership with the NCETM

Aims of the FMSP The FMSP has three strands: Student Support - helping to provide access to Further Mathematics tuition for all students; Teachers' Professional Development - enabling more teachers to teach Further Mathematics and level 3 mathematics within diplomas; Communications and Marketing - promoting mathematics and raising awareness of the benefits of studying mathematics beyond GCSE.
