Super Curricular Activities in Mathematics











Super-Curricular Activities are activities that lie outside the classroom, beyond the school curriculum and beyond schools' extra-curricular offers. And whilst Super-Curricular participation is undoubtedly of benefit with University applications [1], the one-page of 'Super-Curricular Activities in Mathematics' collated and suggested here are done so purely for the 'more interested' young secondary school mathematician to explore, play and engage with outside of school. 

The 'Super Curricular Activities in Mathematics' to download below is a one-page collation of links to free resources and activities, from pre-school reading to University Admissions Tests. (Visits to museums, attendance at seminars and lectures, either online or in person, are not included in this collection, but of course are very much encouraged in super-curricular terms.) It includes suggested reading lists, suggested films and documentaries to watch, interviews and talks and explanatory animations to watch, podcasts and radio programmes to listen to, online courses to follow and engage with, and more. 

Once downloaded you can of course edit and adapt as you wish. The collation may complement schools' 'more able' programmes, but it is in no way designed nor intended to be restricted for exclusive use with students identified as 'more able'. Indeed, the intention is to get more students more interested in mathematics, expose more students to mathematics that would not ordinarily be visited in school curricula, and in doing so, expose more students to the power and beauty of the discipline.

[1] 'Super-Curricular Activities' are, in the words of the University of Cambridge, 'a great way to explore your subject in-depth and discover topics you are really interested in.' The University of Oxford describes Super-Curricular Activities as 'educational activities which go above and beyond the school curriculum. This can be anything from podcasts, documentaries, trips to a museum, books, magazines, online programmes and more.' Many institutions provide suggested Super-Curricular activities.

  2. Super-curricular activities go beyond school lessons to deepen interest in a subject. In maths, they help students explore and think more deeply for enjoyment and growth.

  3. How my best friend lied against me because she wants my husband to herself.

    Please be careful about some persons you call your friend.

    I got married to my sweet high school boyfriend. We were living in peace and enjoying our life. We have two kids together. Everything was going well for us. My husband is not always around because he works in another city.

    So one day my husband came back home and started acting funny. His behavior changed toward me and the kids. I was trying to know what's happening. He never gave me attention or listened. Some days later my husband asked me to take myself out of the house saying he is not interested in our marriage anymore. I tried to talk to him so he could tell me where I went wrong but all was in vain. his behavior and character toward us went out of control.

    I had no other choice than to leave the house with the kids. This made my heart bleed anytime I think about it because this is a man I loved with all my heart. I cried and my mind got worried for a good five months. My cousin who had a similar issue like mine told me to contact DR DAWN telling me that DR DAWN will save my marriage.

    When I contacted him, I told him how everything happened. I paid for all materials needed to get the job done. DR DAWN found out that it was my best friend that was behind everything that is going on in my marriage. He said it was my friend that told my husband negative things DR DAWN went forward to say they were both having an affair together.

    So DR DAWN did what he knows how to do best telling me my husband will come begging. DR told me that my best friend did an evil spell so my husband turned his back on us. But all thanks to DR DAWN my husband came begging me for forgiveness saying he doesn't know what came over him. because DR DAWN has told me everything that happened it was easy to forgive him. We're living together as one big family now.

    If you want back your Ex-partner DR DAWN is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp:: +2349046229159
