In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit students identify equivalent surds and develop their ability to simplify expressions involving surds. Students should understand what a square root is and be able to remove brackets correctly. (GCSE grades A-D; AS and A2 level)

Many of the most powerful magical effects performed today have a mathematical basis. Mathematics is also the secret behind the technologies people use, the products they buy and the jobs they will have. This book shows how to perform some magic tricks, explains the mathematics behind them and how that same...

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

In this presentation students are given a function and explore the mapping of natural numbers, as well as being challenged to find the inverse function. A link to the online encyclopaedia of integer sequences is provided for...

In order to understand the orbits of planets, comets and other celestial bodies, it is necessary to examine the principles of how gravity, and the velocity of an object, interact to produce an orbit. It is a common misconception among students that planetary orbits are circular. This practical activity gives a...

In this Core Maths activity students are drafted into a company’s marketing department for a day. Students have to make assumptions in order to decide how to budget £100,000 across the three forms of advertising available to them (TV, radio and billboards).

A Markov chain is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another, between a finite number of states.

This resource comprises a spreadsheet which allows students to enter values into the transition matrix and the initial state matrix of 2x2 and 3x3 matrices then perform a number of...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students practise differentiating quadratic functions and finding the values of a function and its derivative at specific points. They will distinguish between f (x) and f ′(x), relate values of f (x) and f ′(x) to the graph of y = f (x) and reflect on and discuss these...

A matching is a set of edges on a bipartite graph in which no two edges share a common vertex. A bipartite graph consists of two sets of vertices X and Y. The edges only join vertices in X to vertices in Y. A matching in a bipartite graph is the pairing of some or all of the vertices in X with some or all of the...

Mathcentre has been set up to deliver mathematics support materials, free of charge, to students, teachers, lecturers and everyone looking for help with post-16 mathematics.
