This collection of resources, produced by the University of Leicester, is designed for use by students preparing for or studying advanced level mathematics. Some activities are suitable for Key Stage Four whilst others cover advanced level topics.

Each resource comprises an interactive PowerPoint...

This task involves investigating various aspects of interest and depreciation, including compound interest and the effects of calculating  compound interest over different periods of time (e.g. monthly vs. weekly). The task requires...

Produced in 2011, this report describes the context and parameters of Ofqual’s research into the assessments taken by learners at senior secondary level in a number of key comparator jurisdictions and outlines the progress made up to February 2011.

The purpose of this research is to make comparative...

The United Nations General Assembly announced that 21st March would be the International Day of Forests in 2012 to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests. Countries are encouraged to undertake local, national and international efforts to organise activities involving forests and...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students interpret linear and non-linear distance-time graphs using the computer programme Traffic. This program provides a simple yet powerful way of helping learners to visualise distance–time graphs from first principles. The program generates situations involving...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students interpret frequency graphs, cumulative frequency graphs, and box and whisker plots, all for large samples, and then see how a large number of data points can result in the graph being approximated by a continuous distribution (GCSE Grades A - D)

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the relationship between graphical, algebraic and tabular representations of functions, the nature of proportional, linear, quadratic and inverse functions and doubling and squaring. Students should already be familiar with algebraic symbols such as...

This book is designed to help all those who wish to find out more about the language LOGO, a language intended to demystify computers and computer programming, and make the power of computers accessible to all.

A brief introduction to some basic commands is followed by An Outline to LOGO ...

These resources, covering the topic of Complex Numbers, are suitable for students following the Edexcel Further Pure 1 Mathematics course (FP1). Detailed notes for all aspects of this course, together with study plans, exercises, activities and tests are provided.

These resources from MEI Online are suitable for students following the OCR Further Pure 1 Mathematics course.

Detailed notes cover calculations with complex numbers and there are a variety of resources to support students’ understanding of the important aspects of this topic, these include; exercises for...

Roving with Rosalind is an education and outreach project funded by the UK Space Agency which presents Mars mission based classroom activities for primary and secondary schools as well as activity groups. The slides given here provide a very brief overview of the activities that have been produced and a...

Inverse Functions. Linear
This file starts with an example of how to find the inverse of a linear function. New examples can be generated and the graphs of both functions...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This presentation begins with a reminder of some transformations of the plane before introducing the less well known transformation of Inversion. Students are able to experiment with an Autograph file to explore this concept...

The mathematical solution initially explains how to use calculus to find the stationary points of the curve y = x/(16+x²) by rewriting the equation as a product using index form and using the product rule to find the differential. The stationary points are found by equating the differential to zero and...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This resource is a practical...
