Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of geometry and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, those for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course and some apply to GCSE Higher Level students. The topics covered include the geometry of a circle, polar coordinates, the...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of geometry often used in the field of engineering. They include the gradient and intercept of straight line graphs, polar coordinates and converting degrees and radians.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for each resource are provided,...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spread sheets designed to explore the concept of a gradient of a curve.

The first activity illustrates that the gradient of a function, at a point P, is the gradient...

This resource is an interactive excel program to enable students to investigate the solution of polynomial equations up to cubics using a graphical method.

The program shows the graphs of cubic equations and the...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Introducing graphs of linear equations (using rich collaborative tasks)
• Finding the equation of a tangent to a curve using...

This Durham Maths Mystery is designed to extend high achieving GCSE students and for use with students studying mathematics post-16.

Task 1A: students are presented with a blank three by three grid and twenty fact cards. Students have to use the clues on the fact cards to help them sketch...

This resource is an interactive excel program to enable students to investigate exponential growth and decay. The topics of the interactive sheets are depreciation, exponential growth of bacteria and half life and radioactive decay.

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources that explore Algebra and Maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

The resource can be used when introducing linear graphs: this shows how to draw a graph using formulae in Excel....

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources that explore Algebra and Maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In this resource students learn to substitute values into formulae and to use a calculator to evaluate...

Using the data from CensusAtSchool 2006/2007, this data analysis resource looks at trends in life expectancy in populations. Students consider both the primary data collected from CensusAtSchool and secondary data about life expectancy and major causes of death. A plenary asks students to consider what they have...

The activities in this workbook cover the ideas of statistical significance, type I and type II errors and the power of a test. The relationship between power and significance in the context of tests of means is considered and the final spreadsheet shows how to conduct a chi-squared test of association in a...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at image scaling, which is an important first step that all astronomers perform when looking at image data. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from...

Classifying shapes:
the objective of this activity is to reflect on the Improving Learning in Mathematics session Mostly Shape and Space Session SS1. The activity asks teachers to consider what knowledge...

Linear Programming involves creating a function that represents a real life problem. The aim is to optimise this function given certain constraints. Simple examples of linear programming will have few variables and constraints, however, real life situations will have many more variables and constraints that will...
