The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) was the sector-owned body that aimed to accelerate the drive for excellence in the learning and skills sector. It built on the sector’s own capacity to design, commission and deliver improvement and strategic change. It closed in 2013.

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.

This activity introduces standard form and shows students how to use it in real life contexts. 

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Data Handling. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

Larks and owls is a very open investigation in which students may set their own statistical tasks based on sleep...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

Students are asked...

This report aimed to identify practical examples of good practice that promote good behaviour and that can be adopted by all schools. The authors identified aspects of practice that create the right conditions for good behaviour to be learnt. The authors further comment that whilst school staff work hard to support...

Walsall Adult and Community College is a grade one college which delivers courses from pre-entry level to Level 2. The aim of this self-improvement activity was to develop the teaching and learning approaches of both teaching staff and support workers. This involved a series of CPD sessions whereby staff developed...

This interactive simulation gives the opportunity for students to explore Least-Squares Regression. There are a number of different options available from the drop-down menu or students can plot their own points. Students then use the sliders to add their own line of best fit, residual lines and squared residuals...

Scientists at the University of Oxford often use mathematical modelling as a key part of their research.  Modelling how information travels through social media sites is a part of understanding ways to analyse and potentially reduce the spread of misinformation.

This resource, from Susan Wall, contains a number of advanced level activities designed to practise and strengthen understanding of linear functions. Although students have worked with linear functions at GCSE connections between properties, equations and diagrams are not always secure. At advanced level students...

Linear Programming involves creating a function that represents a real life problem. The aim is to optimise this function given certain constraints. Simple examples of linear programming will have few variables and constraints, however, real life situations will have many more variables and constraints that will...

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.

The resource is an introduction to linear graphs, leading to the link between the constants in the standard form...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students identify different forms and properties
of quadratic functions, connect quadratic functions...
