🎥 New 20-Minute CPD Video for A Level Maths Teachers
Struggling to get students to engage with modelling questions? In this short training video, Subject Advisor Vicky Wood shares practical strategies to help students deepen their understanding of mathematical models and build confidence in problem solving.🧠
Plus, check out our key resource: AS and A Level Maths Modelling Questions – a PowerPoint packed with modelling questions grouped by content area, perfect for targeted practice and revision.
Our post-series support timelines show when you can expect all our key resources and support networks following the summer 2025 exams.
🗓️ From papers and mark schemes to examiner reports, skills maps, and autumn networks – everything’s mapped out to make your next steps easier.
As we move through the summer term, we know many of you are planning internal assessments for your Year 12 students. To support you in this, we want to highlight a range of resources available now, so you can assess with confidence and clarity.
🔍 Please note: The mark schemes for the 2025 8MA0 papers will not be released until 15 July.
If you're looking to assess students before then, we recommend using the following alternatives, all of which come with mark schemes already provided:
- 8MA0 Mock Sets - Designed to mirror the style and challenge of live assessments.
- 8MA0 Shadow Papers - Adapted exam papers with altered contexts and numbers. They assess the same content as the originals, use the same grade boundaries, and come with student-friendly mark schemes
- Skills Maps and ExamWizard - Using the Skills Map you can identify key skills across the curriculum that you want to assess and select appropriate questions to create your own bespoke assessments in ExamWizard using past paper questions, complete with mark schemes.
These tools are designed to give you flexibility and control, whether you're running full mock exams or shorter, skill-focused tasks. They also support consistency in marking and help students build familiarity with exam-style questions.

Later this month, we will be sending out our 2025 Exam Feedback Surveys.
Feedback from these surveys help us to improve the experience of teachers using our qualifications and students sitting our exams.
Your feedback is important to us so keep an eye on your inbox for the survey link.
At this time of year, awarding organisations receive lots of reports about websites and social media accounts claiming to have 2025 live assessment material available for sale (exam papers, mark schemes).
We wanted to take this opportunity to remind our centres that any student found to have accessed or participated in the sharing of 'leaked' examination material will receive sanctions.
Help us to protect the integrity of our assessments by reporting these accounts. Contact us via pqsmalpractice@pearson.com
As we approach the final stretch of term, we know how important it is to keep students engaged while giving yourself a well-earned breather. That’s why we’re excited to share a brilliant collection of free enrichment resources, magic tricks and activities from Think Maths:
Whether you're looking to spark mathematical wonder, encourage creative thinking, or just enjoy some joyful problem-solving, there's something here for every classroom. These resources should help you finish the term with curiosity, laughter, and a little mathematical magic ✨
In this new episode of The Right Angle podcast, the artist Brook Tate talks with Nicola Woodford-Smith about his recent discovery of how colours and shapes can help unlock the key to learning the fundamentals of mathematics.
Brook shares how he made this discovery and where in the world he has been sharing his creative practice.
