The Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) have created a suite of resources, enabling Maths teachers to link curriculum learning to careers. Included is an exciting set of videos, which showcase the maths elements in different careers. Each video is paired with a related activity, for students to get a real taste of what the career may entail.

The video and accompanying activities have been designed so that they can be completed in one hour but there are plenty of opportunities to extend them further or use as part of home learning.
Each video is around 5 minutes long and has a few questions asked throughout, which make perfect places to pause and think about maths and careers with your class.
The videos are suitable for all students aged 11+. Each person that features tells their story from childhood right through to the present day. We have aimed to use a diverse set of role models and careers in the videos so that the collection hopefully contains something that every student can relate to, whether that is the persons background, their interests, or their aspirations.
Each resource comes with a presentation, teacher notes and optional printable versions. Many of them are also suitable for other lessons, not just maths, are suitable for group work and developing essential employability skills.
