Key Stage 4 Enrichment events

The FMSP ran a national series of mathematics enrichment events for Key Stage 4 students in summer 2010 and autumn 2011. The events aimed to inspire Key Stage 4 students with mathematics and encourage them to consider going on to study AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics after their GCSEs. The funding of these events was supported by the Clothworkers' Foundation.

Examples of feedback from these events are given below:

"That maths opens a lot of doors! Very interesting facts about maths that I didn’t know before"

"Maths has an everyday use. Maths at A level keeps your options open"

"Very inspirational!! Definitely going to be taking further maths after today"

"That Maths is complicated but FUN!!"

"That nothing is impossible"

"The extent that maths is being used in the real world"

"That there is maths behind a lot of careers"

"That maths is a wide subject and can be linked into other subjects such as geography, science and psychology"

"Thanks for a great day, really enjoyed it and learnt a lot"

"That maths rules!!"
