The collection of Nuffield Mathematics resources for teaching mathematics at L1, L2 and L3 can be found here: https://www.stem.org.uk/cxg2wb  

Many of the L2 and L3 resources can be used to support the teaching of the AQA Core Maths qualification L3 Certificate in...

The mathematical solution initially explains how to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x) = 5sin x + 2cos x and how to find, in radians to 2 decimal places, the smallest positive values of x at which they occur. f(x) is written in the form Rcos(x + α). Explanation is then given as to how the maximum and...

[b]Modulus graphs:[/b] the objectives of this activity are to understand the concepts and notation of modulus graphs and to expose common misconceptions in the interpretation of modulus notation. The suggested activity asks groups of students to match function cards with graphs and to explain their thinking....

Published by LSIS, this report describes research by Worcester College. The aim of the project was to assess the impact of gathering real data on the generation of enthusiasm and engagement of students studying level 3 statistics. A practical activity based on determining the statistical significance of differences...

[b]Using positional vocabulary[/b]: the objective of this activity is for students to practise using positional vocabulary. The suggested activity requires students to hide an object in the classroom, then give directions to other students in order to find the missing object. The resource contains many prompts,...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. The aim of this case study was to implement new technologies into teaching and learning in order to create greater engagement in science lessons. This could then have a positive effect on...

Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. The aim of the project was to inform how technology can help to improve A level results and value added scores at Mid Kent College. It also set out to provide information towards a strategy for...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. From Dearne Valley College it describes how a learning strategy, originally developed for a single learner, has been extended to many more learners across Dearne Valley College.

Using...

The mathematical solution explains how to use the identity sin2x + cos2x≡ 1 to form a quadratic equation which can then be solved in a given range. The method of 'splitting the middle term' is used in order to help factorise the resulting quadratic in sin2x. The two resulting equations are then considered...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. Petroc is a further education college in the South West of England. This case study describes how the college tackled the professional development of science staff in the area of teaching...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. It describes the steps being taken by Hull College Science department staff to develop web-based resources in a virtual learning environment (VLE).

The science staff have undertaken a...

The main aim of the study was to:

*engage students and enhance their learning in mathematics through cross-curricular work with other STEM subjects, using video as a tool to encourage students to:
- reflect on...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. By Birmingham Metropolitan College, the study describes how an e-learning mentor produced a series of video clips relating to the mathematics curriculum. These were made available to view on...
