Where can I find resources for the Core Maths qualifications?
A large resource package has been developed by MEI who worked with us on the development of our Core Maths qualifications. These resources are available free of charge from the Core Maths Platform.
To access the Core Maths Platform, register with the Advanced Maths Support Programme (AMSP). Once logged in, you can download:
-
schemes of work – either for individual components of each Level 3 Certificate or consolidated qualification versions for delivering both components together
-
lesson plans with PowerPoints and associated student worksheets, including some interactive home study materials
-
topic assessments
-
practice papers.
You can also get student logins so that your students can freely access the resources, including some auto-marked computer tests to help with tracking and monitoring.
We also have free resources under the ‘Planning and teaching’ section of the Core Maths A and Core Maths B qualification pages:
-
schemes of work – for individual components of each Level 3 Certificate
-
resource lists
-
topic exploration packs
-
teaching activities
-
transition and delivery guides.
Under the ‘Assessment’ section of Core Maths A and Core Maths B, there are candidate style answers to show different levels of candidate responses.
Is a textbook available for Core Maths?
OCR Core Maths A and B (MEI) has been written in conjunction with the MEI team and covers all the components from both specifications.
Are there any CPD courses for Core Maths?
You can book courses on our professional development pages. You can also download materials from past courses from here.
