Closed Reinstate the funding for the Underground Maths project.

Closed on

The Underground Maths website was the best resource available for teachers of A level Maths. The DfE recently stopped its funding. The removal of the funding means that it will no longer be developed, and it has been left incomplete. A level mathematics teaching in the UK will be poorer for it.

For more information, see these links. The Smith report is a government report on mathematics teaching that specifically endorses the Underground Maths project.
