Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of geometry and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, those for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course and some apply to GCSE Higher Level students. The topics covered include the geometry of a circle, polar coordinates, the...

Mathcentre provide this resource which covers the slope intercept form, an aspect of geometry that involves the gradient and vertical intercept of a graph, which can be established from the terms of a linear equation.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions are provided, together with relevant diagrams...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of geometry often used in the field of engineering. They include the gradient and intercept of straight line graphs, polar coordinates and converting degrees and radians.

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

This case study published in 2011 by LSIS  describes work by Wirral Metropolitan College. The project developed an action research project focused on increasing the participation rate of girls in the Level 2 Higher Diploma in Engineering. The first step for the project was to attract girls to post-16 engineering,...

Charlie Taylor’s Behaviour Checklists, Getting the Simple Things Right, look at the simple things that should be put in place to create good behaviour for learning. It includes the two lists 'key principles for headteachers to help improve school behaviour' and 'behaviour checklist for teachers'.

This report published by the Nuffield Foundation in January 2012 provides an up-to-date picture of the scale of UK foundation resources devoted to international development. It also identifies how these resources are distributed across region and need, and how foundations approach international funding activities...

This Core Maths task explores the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (set in 2000).

The resource asks students to use data to consider if the UN millennium goal to reduce the under-five child mortality rate by two-thirds by the year 2015 has been realised.

The teacher guidance provides a...

Gloucester College is a large Further Education College with four campuses located in the Cotswolds. This case study is based on the experiences of staff and students at the Gloucester campus. In addition to A Levels and GCSEs, the College offers a range of vocational qualifications, basic skills courses and...

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at how mathematicians can help industry to manage their use of fluids. Many industrial processes involve the complex movement of fluids, but predicting fluid behaviour can often be difficult. Mathematical models of fluid flow can help to improve manufacturing efficiency and...

This series of excel interactive sheets look at the golden ratio.

The first two sheets investigate the ratio of each pair of consecutive terms in the Fibonacci series, and what happens to the ratio as the sequence...

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 this resource, students practise rearranging formulae. There is a worksheet for individual work and a set of...

This case study describes how an inclusive approach to attendance and punctuality can improve overall success rates for learners with a declared disability or health condition, many of whom were formerly not in education, employment or training.

This excel program contains a series of interactive spreadsheets designed to explore the concept of a gradient of a curve.

The first activity illustrates that the gradient of a function, at a point P, is the gradient...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spread sheets designed to explore the concept of a gradient of a curve.

The first activity illustrates that the gradient of a function, at a point P, is the gradient...

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

This resources is an introduction to differentiation. Students are shown how to use a spreadsheet to find the gradients of functions of the form xⁿ. This...
