E-mail this to a friendStudents completing Further Maths at AS and A Levels are seen as better prepared for mathematics-related courses in higher education and generally more able mathematicians thanks to Further Maths.
Supported with funding totalling £440,000 from the Welsh Assembly Government over a three year period, the programme is being delivered by the Wales Institute of Mathematical and Computational Sciences (WIMCS), based at Swansea University.
Access for practitioners to online resources to support the teaching of Further Mathematics is a key element of the programme.
Leighton Andrews said:
“Further Maths is held in high regard by Higher Education Institutions across the UK and contributes to the growth of the knowledge economy in Wales as a whole.
“It’s encouraging that over 50 schools have already joined the programme and are making use of resources for Further Pure, Mechanics and Statistics.
“I’m sure the programme can enrich the educational experience for pupils in Wales. Through the online resources and a range of other support, this programme will provide opportunities for more young people in Wales to pursue studies in Further Mathematics”.
