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 Factor Cards, learners practise expanding brackets and/or factorising quadratic expressions.

The mathematics involved in this puzzle is factorisation and this leads on to prime factors. Different factor trees for 40 are given and the challenge is to find the different factorisations. This is helpful for convincing students that there are several ways to find the prime factorisation. This resource is...

This resource contains two interactive excel programs which enable students to investigate cubic functions and the relationship between the factorised form and the graph.

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students learn to associate x-intercepts with finding values of x such that f (x) = 0, sketch graphs of cubic functions, find linear factors of cubic functions and develop efficient strategies when factorising cubic functions. Students should have some familiarity with...

These PowerPoint presentations from MEI demonstrate a variety of methods which can be used to factorise polynomials. The techniques include factorising cubics and quartics by inspection; using a table and algebraic long division.

This activity takes the form of a series of crosses in which numbers are placed into the left and right hand cells in such a way that the top cell contains their product and the bottom cell their sum. The combination of values provided varies requiring students to perform different tasks to solve the problems....

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Factors covers: factors and prime numbers, prime factors, index notation, highest common factor, lowest common multiple, squares and square roots.

The initial file forms...

This resource consists of a presentation and some supporting materials to enable students to research and create their own presentation around the ideas that there are Ethical, Legal and Environmental Issues surrounding the use of ICT in Business and Educational surroundings. The presentation sets the scene,...

This collection contains resources from the website 1001mathproblems.com by Sian Zelbo. The topics covered include factors, multiples, primes, and common factors. Each topic is introduced in the form of a puzzle, many of which have several different...

In the factors, multiples and primes activity students are required to use their knowledge of the properties of numbers to solve a puzzle. There are thirty three sequentially numbered figures to be shared between six teachers. The first has all factors of 36, the second has all prime numbers, the...

Teams of school students identify an everyday problem that directly impacts society. They come up with a new and innovative scientific solution to tackle this problem and present their findings in a 5 minute video.
