The Coventry and Warwickshire Further Mathematics Centre provides tuition and support for schools and colleges in this area. We offer revision days for students and CPD sessions for teachers. We are also able to provide enrichment opportunities to students at Key Stage 4 to encourage the uptake of further mathematics at A-level.

Teaching/Tutorial Support

Each student participating gets at least one hour per week support on each of their modules. Some teaching takes place at the University of Warwick, some at Coventry University and some at teaching venues in some of the schools/colleges listed above. We try to bring students from different schools/colleges together so that they can get to know one another and work together on their Further Mathematics. We also arrange teaching to groups in their own school wherever possible to back-up their regular lessons. There is also a hub called Solihull Further Mathematics Hub associated with the University centre.

Web-based Support

Students studying with this centre will be given a username and password so they can access high quality teaching and learning resources through Moodle. We are also able to offer remote tuition for individual modules through Elluminate.

Revision Days

A revision day, providing intense examination preparation, is held for each module. At a revision day, students receive a substantial revision pack containing summary sheets and handwritten complete solutions to exam questions. A buffet lunch is also provided. The charge for students who are not studying through the Coventry and Warwickshire Further Mathematics Centre is £5 (subsidised, as of Jan '07) for Core Maths modules and £20 for the other modules.

The Coventry and Warwickshire Further Mathematics Centre is pleased to announce its programme of upcoming Revision Days designed to prepare students for module examinations in May/June.

Wednesday 29th April
Further Pure 1 (AQA)

Wednesday 6th May
Further Pure 1 (MEI)
Further Pure 3 (MEI)

Decision Maths 2 (MEI)

All Revision Days will take place at the Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick from 12.00pm to 4.00pm

Experts in these modules will present an overview of the content with particular focus on examination questions and technique. Revision Days give students a chance to review their knowledge and provide students with momentum for their own personal revision programme.

At a Revision Day, students receive a substantial revision pack for the specification they follow containing summary sheets and handwritten complete solutions to exam questions. A buffet lunch is also provided. The charge is £20 for students who are not currently studying that specific module through the Further Mathematics Network.

Your school/college is responsible for complying with the usual regulations regarding trips for your students. Please let us know if there is anything you think we might be able to help with.

Teachers can attend the Revision Days free of charge; they represent an excellent opportunity for teachers to get an overview of a module they may not have taught before.

In addition to the above revision days, a number of free online revision sessions are available as detailed below.

Sunday 10th May
Numerical Methods (MEI) 10am to 1pm
Decision Maths 2 (MEI) 2pm to 5pm
