Our Spring Be a Specialist for a Mathematician Day event (open to pupils currently in Years 5 and 6) offers a taste of life as a specialist mathematician where participants enjoy a variety of activities similar to what they would experience as part of the Specialist Mathematics scheme here at Wells. We would then make a recommendation about next steps based on whether we feel that you would be suitable for this enrichment programme.I went to BAMFAD with my friends to see what it would be like if I were to become a Specialist Mathematician in Year 7. I think it’s a great way to learn challenging (but very fun) maths, as well as a chance to meet new people who also love maths as much as you do. It was a brilliant experience and it just makes me even more determined to become a Specialist Mathematician.– Previous participant Click here to find out more about our Specialist Mathematics Programme.
