Developed by experts

The Core Maths Platform has been developed by the AMSP, a government-funded initiative, managed by MEI. The programme aims to increase participation in Core Maths, AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics, and improve the teaching of these level 3 maths qualifications.

These resources have been developed by MEI, and are informed by the same deep expertise in the teaching and learning of maths and commitment to improve maths education that that is evident in all Integral resources.

Access to these resources is free to AMSP-registered schools and colleges.

Easy to use

  • Designed for use on both desktop and tablet devices
  • Access from school, college, university and home at any time

Register with the AMSP
