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

This presentation explores the effect of placing a single tile into an existing pattern which tessellates, referred to as a pearl tiling. New descriptions and notation are introduced and questions regarding regular polygons...

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

In the ‘Plumber's callout’ lesson, students complete data tables, then draw, read and interpret linear graphs where the...

Published by LSIS, this report gives interim findings from a programme investigating the gap between the numbers of learners studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in schools at A Level, and those studying in Further Education (FE). This interim report provides insight into barriers to...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics to explore aspects of the subject which may not normally be encountered, to encourage new ways to approach a problem mathematically and to broaden the range of tools that an A Level...

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...

Newland School is passionate about promoting women into areas such as mathematics and science, which are often viewed as traditionally male careers. Success in these careers requires an ability to draw on a range of common skills, but the traditionally isolated nature of secondary school departments has been a...

A motif, seen on the floor of a cafe, prompts an investigation into whether or not it is possible to use the kite shapes to form an exact polygon and leads to some interesting discoveries.

The resource is designed to...

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

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Solving simple equations (encouraging reasoning rather than 'answer getting')
• Rearranging simple equations (encouraging reasoning...

The emphasis in this Nuffield Advanced Mathematics option was on non-parametric methods to help students to gain a good understanding of statistical processes. Students required access to a computer with a professional statistics package to gain the full benefit from this option.

The Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Coordinating Centre (EPPICentre) was commissioned by the Wellcome Trust to undertake this systematic review of research about subject choice. The main aim of the review was to examine the factors that influence the STEM subject choices of young people (14-19...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of embedding functional skills and curriculum development. It looks at the City of Bristol College which wanted to enhance its partnerships with local schools.

The project addresses functional mathematics....

This presentation describes the concept of Tangles, which were the idea of John Conway. Students are given some rules from which they create the tangle representing 2/5, before creating their own tangle numbers for others to...

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

This presentation begins by introducing students to the technique used to find the radical of an integer before progressing to the ABC conjecture, which is recognised by mathematicians as being an important unsolved problem...

In this activity the distribution of prime numbers, proved by Hadamard and de la Vallée Poussin in 1896, is investigated using an Excel spreadsheet program, Autograph and the Prime Number Theorem.

The resource is...

The Duston school was one of one of twenty initial Lead Schools for Core Maths, providing support to a network of other schools as they look to deliver mathematics to all post 16 pupils.

Discover more about how Core Maths was delivered by a team of three teachers, working in close collaboration to develop...
