The Nuffield Foundation provides this resource which shows students how, given a set of measurements along an irregular coastline, it is possible to approximate the area of land which is lost to coastal erosion over a period of time. Coastal erosion A - this activity uses the context of coastal erosion to introduce...

This problem features a coil of tinplate being stored on a mandrel. In the first problem, students are presented with the diameter of the mandrel, the height from the floor, the width of the coil and the density of the steel. The problem is to calculate the maximum coil weight. A worked solution is included with...

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

This thought provoking presentation introduces the mathematics of coincidences, challenges students to produce a spreadsheet which shows the probabilities of sharing a birthday, as well as highlighting the coincidence of...

This action research report is published by LSIS. It describes a project undertaken by Middlesbrough College. The project set out to improve the teaching of mathematics and numeracy by non-specialists. It identified and disseminated good practice across the college.

In this video from Osiris Educational Bill Rodgers discusses what effective colleague support can reasonably be given when dealing with behaviourally...

This series of interactive excel sheets investigate models involving collisions.

The first sheet simulates two particles colliding. Initial velocity, mass and resulting velocity of the two particles can be set, or a...

These materials support teachers, careers and personal advisers who are working together to broaden knowledge of STEM opportunities amongst students and parents. Resources include posters and support materials for practitioners. Teachers may also find the following eLibrary collections useful:

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Algebra. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

The resource includes matching cards to practise completing the square and helps relate the competed square form to the graph of the function.

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of complex numbers, often used in the field of engineering. They include the definition of a complex number and their associated arithmetic, the Argand diagram and polar form of a complex number, as well as the exponential form.

Comprehensive notes, with...

This collection of resources from MEI provides a series of hints, which are levelled, to prompt students through the questions in two exercises on complex numbers. Worked solutions for each question are also available.

These resources, covering the topic of Complex Numbers, are suitable for students following the MEI Further Pure 1 Mathematics course (FP1). Detailed notes for all aspects of this course, together with study plans, exercises, activities, tests and interactive questions are provided.

MEI Online Resources provide this introduction to Complex Numbers for MEI FP1.

Detailed notes covering the number system, adding subtracting and multiplying complex numbers, complex conjugates, equations with complex roots, equating real and imaginary parts and crucial points to learn are included, together...

This collection of resources from MEI provides a series of hints, which are levelled, to prompt students through the questions in two exercises on using the Argand diagram for complex numbers. Worked solutions for each question are also available.

MEI Online resources for FP1 provide a selection of materials for the modulus-argument form of complex numbers. These include thorough notes, a study plan, additional exercises, a multiple choice test and an extension piece of work.
