Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. Sessions in this resource look at:

• Data collection and handling (using technology creatively and appropriately)

• Key features of charts graphs and diagrams (building on knowledge...

This is a problem solving lesson, intended to assess how well students are able to:

• Understand and calculate the conditional probability of an event A, given an event B
• Represent events as a subset of a sample space using tables, tree diagrams, and Venn diagrams

The problem is...

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

A repunit, which stands for repeated unit, is a number like 11, 111, or 1111 that contains only the digit 1 and extends to number bases other than base ten. This presentation challenges students to prove that any repunit...
