Operational Research (O.R.) is the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. The O.R. approach often involves constructing and using mathematical models and problem structuring methods to represent the wide range of problems faced by organisations. The results of these models...

A substantial part of this Nuffield Advanced Mathematics option was about algorithms. Students used calculators, or computers with a structured programming language, to turn algorithms into programs. They were introduced to various aspects of discrete mathematics and,...

This collection of resources is produced by the Core Maths Support Programme to support the implementation of Core Maths. The collection contains a range of activities all designed to enable students to use and apply discrete mathematics in unfamiliar contexts.

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

Ergodic maths is a fairly new branch of mathematics which concerns itself with repeated processes and some of the basic theorems are introduced here.

The activity is designed to explore aspects of the subject which...

The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) was created to support and improve achievement in the Further Education and Skills sector in England.

This collection contains a range of materials called 'Mathematical Moments' aimed at supporting teaching and learning in mathematics. The resources...

The Mathematics Matters case studies have been written to address the issue that contemporary mathematics research affects the daily lives of a very large number of people worldwide, yet most remain in almost total ignorance of this fact. The case studies aim to give examples of contemporary research and describe...

The Nuffield Advanced Mathematics reader provided articles as background or extensions to topics covered elsewhere in the course. The aim was to encourage students to make further study of the development and applications of the ideas about which they were learning....

Mathematics Teaching is the journal of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics. It is a professional journal sent to all members of the Association. This is a collection of articles from Mathematics Teaching journal covering a wide range of topics of interest to mathematics teachers of primary school aged...

The Nuffield Foundation funds research, analysis, and student programmes that advance educational opportunity and social well-being across the United Kingdom.

This collection contains a range of materials for teachers, including the Nuffield Applying Mathematical Processes (AMP) resources, consisting of AMP...

The Senior Mathematical Challenge (SMC), from the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT), is a multiple choice contest in which students are presented with five alternative answers, of which just one is correct. It follows that often students can find the correct...

A collection of ideas from Susan Wall for use in the A-level mathematics classroom. The activities are written in a manner designed to engage student participation, promote discussion and enhance understanding. Each activity is accompanied by teacher notes suggesting how the task should be approached. The tasks are...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at black holes. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in the maths and physical science post-16 curriculum. Problems consist of a student page and an answer sheet. Students need to be...

Members of the Centre for Teaching Mathematics are actively involved in creating new and innovative materials for schools.

This collection consists of the Exploring series aimed at A level students. There are three packs of resources; exploring pure mathematics, exploring statistics and exploring mechanics...
