Published in 2009 by LSIS, this report describes an action research project conducted by Long Road Sixth Form College. The project explored the use of learning objectives to enhance student progression, provide effective feedback, promote independent learning and improve success rates in AS level mathematics.

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.

This Cre8ate maths activity allows the opportunity to discuss the modelling function of mathematics. The tasks allow students to develop their own strategies and to consider the idea of an ‘efficient’ algorithm. In addition, 'First fit and full bins' activity involves work on ratio and pie charts.

A selection of resources published by BEAM, for teachers of primary mathematics. They include challenging problems, investigations and puzzles to practise and consolidate students' understanding of fractions. *Fraction patterns - drawing diagrams of equivalent fractions *Decimal jigsaw - ten by ten grid in the form...
