Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service, these materials help to demonstrate effective practice. This case study, from Universal Training UK, looks at the themes of equality, functional skills, employer engagement and mathematics. This study looks at ways of pre-empting and overcoming problems faced...

This resource from Tony Ballantyne assumes no previous Haskell experience but progresses through a series of exercises to cover all key characteristics of the language.

In this lesson, students explore the functional properties of food. They learn about the Maillard reaction, dextrinisation, caramelisation, gelatinisation and other characteristics of carbohydrates as well as the properties of protein and fats and how these contribute to the appearance, taste and texture of food....

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to the linked concepts of 'variable' and 'function', so that by recognising the independent variables in an experimental situation, they will be able to control the experiment in an...

This resource features a task that involves work on both quadratic and linear functions.

Eight points are shown on a coordinate grid. Students must identify four points belonging to the linear function, four points belonging to the quadratic function, and then in each case determine an equation that fits the...

This resource features five short tasks that involves work on using functions in a practical situations.

An example task involves modelling the number of helpers needed to prepare for a fete given different rates at which each can make varies sizes of cakes.

This task is from the Mathematics...

Composite Functions
The first five sheets all have a similar format. A number is operated on by...

The first of two RISP activities, Periodic Functions, asks students to write down as many periodic functions as they can. The activity progresses to look at what happens...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of functions and graphs. They include explanations of linear functions, the exponential constant, the graph of a function and linear relationships.

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

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of functions and graphs and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include an introduction to functions, the hyperbolic,...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of functions and graphs often used in the field of engineering. They include descriptions of the hyperbolic function and identities, the logarithm function and its graph as well as the graphs of the trigonometric functions.

Magna is a manager in the fund accounting at Fidelity, she discusses her role in this video. Magna, raised in Zimbabwe, is responsible for a variety of back office duties associated with fund accounting. After completing A levels, Magna worked in a tax office as she could not afford to go to university, but...

In this experiment students grow yeast on agar plates and look at the effect on growth of some common anti-fungal treatments, which are available to treat conditions such athlete's foot and thrush. Antifungal products may be bought from a local pharmacist, for example, Canistan, Daktarin, Diflucan. Several...
