Selected year 10 learners were invited to attend an event organised by Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) called 'Girls into Maths'.  
 
This event offered learners an opportunity to be inspired by all that maths has to offer at KS5 with exciting problem-solving challenges. “The event was fantastic, our learners thoroughly enjoyed themselves. ASMP presented maths problem-solving questions in escape style games where learners worked together in groups of 5 to creatively think and collaborate,” Gazala, teacher of Maths. 
 
Learners also enjoyed insights from female role models sharing their mathematical journeys. Through these talks, learners explored an array of exciting maths related topics such as Florence Nightingale and data visualisation, forensic accounting and the world of finance, the maths behind a google search and even the use of maths in space exploration. Learners also got to hear a presentation by Professor Aoife Hunt MBE on the exciting world of crowd-modelling. 

“The ‘Girls into Maths’ event was so much fun because we got to participate in a mathematic escape room activity where we had use skills that we learnt in school and apply them to solving problems in the room. ASMP presented maths in a new way, it was like they made maths into riddles and we had to work together to solve them!” year 10 learner, Kierrana.  
 
Thanks to AMSP for inviting us out to such an inspiring day for our female mathematicians and showcasing role models they can aspire to emulate in the STEM field.
