Secondary

The MA, the first subject teaching association ever formed in England, has always focused on developing and supporting school mathematics.

Four of the MA's journals (with issues between 3 and 5 times a year) are ideal for the 11-16 age range: 'Mathematics in Schools', 'Equals', 'SYMmetryplus' and 'Mathematical Pie'. The MA also publishes books aimed at secondary teachers. The 11-18 subcommittee monitors developments, responds to consultations (e.g. on the revised Key Stage 3, Functional skills, twin GCSEs) and produces resources.

Secondary school Maths teachers in English schools…

We would very much like to hear about your experiences preparing your students for the 9-1 GCSE for Mathematics.

Additionally you will be able to opt to receive results from this survey, as well as a link to our next 60 Second Survey, if you so wish.

Why has continuation funding not been found for the Underground Mathematics Project?

This outstanding project is not yet complete. Ceasing funding at this stage in the project is an extraordinary decision and makes no sense in terms of the government’s declared priorities.

We, the Association for Teachers of Mathematics and The Mathematical Association, write to the Secretary of State for Education as two of the subject associations that represent mathematics teachers to ask why continuation funding was not found for the Underground Mathematics project given its success and the emphasis placed on the development of Level 3 mathematics.

Read the letter to the Secretary of State for Education, Justine Greening, here.

60 Second Survey on Recruitment and Retention in Secondary Schools (Summer 2016)

This survey was noted by the TES who then printed an article about the staffing crisis for Maths teaching in late July. Online coverage followed, on three occasions, in the TES, which you can view via these links: Link 1 - Link 2 - Link 3.

Many thanks to David Miles for undertaking the liaison work with the TES which followed their request to publish our survey results. If you would like a reminder of our questions, please use this link. For results including the comments from participants (563 of them!) this is the link.
