The Midland Mathematical Experiment, in which a number of schools collaborated with the aim of developing a new approach to teaching mathematics in the Grammar School, developed a series of books to cover their ‘A’-level syllabus. Sets, Mappings, Relations and Operations is split into sections, each section...

These collections of videos are produced by Casio in conjunction with Mathstouch Ltd. The collection consists of two sub-collections: the first covering material found in AS level mathematics courses, the second featuring material found in the A2 course. Each resource consists of at least two videos. The first...

Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study addresses the theme of embedding functional skills. From Reading Borough Council, it looks at a group of teachers who worked collaboratively across secondary schools to explore strategies for developing functional skills in mathematics....

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematicians' understanding of knots can help unravel potentially fatal knots in DNA molecules. Understanding how to manipulate tangles of DNA could help us create new treatments for diseases, so...

Produced  in 2011 by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of mathematics and progression through STEM. It describes the development of the mathematics provision at Abingdon and Witney College. The aim was to make maths more relevant to students, particularly those...

Mathcentre provide this refresher resource for basic differentiation, which has been designed to enable students to prepare for their university mathematics programme. There is a comprehensive review including differentiation of a general power multiplied by a constant, simple fractions and general brackets.

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at how mathematics converts digital data into useful information for business, the government and the public. Computers and networks stuffed with ever-increasing amounts of data are transforming our society, creating a digital world with its own rules and behaviours. We...
