This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This ‘Networks’ activity introduces the terms used...

This document was published by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills in December 2011, and sets out the programme of work required to take forward the reform of FE and skills system for adults aged 19 and over in England. The report was based on the principles set out in Skills for Sustainable Growth...

In this case study Newham Sixth Form College, one of London’s largest sixth form colleges, discussed how it offers Core Maths to some of its more than 2,500 full-time students.

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. 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.

This resource is an...

A detailed investigation to measure the wavelength of sodium light.  This could be tied into red shift and the absorption spectrum.  Some specific equipment like a travelling microscope is required but should be accessible for most.

This interactive excel file contains a series of normal distribution curves to investigate.

The first sheet displays the standard normal curve. The mean and variance can be adjusted and compared to the original graph...

This Core Maths activity gives students the opportunity to practise using the Normal Distribution to solve problems in a variety of situations. 

Students calculate and interpret mean and standard deviation and draw diagrams such as a box plot.They need a good understanding of...

Northampton Academy is a large modern secondary school with over 1400 pupils. This case study deals with the staffing challenges within the maths department including recruiting a non-specialist teacher to deliver Core Maths. 

This Nuffield Foundation Project was a collaboration which drew on the expertise of the Supported Self Study Unit in Northumberland, the Mechanics in Action project in Manchester, teachers in several Local Authorities as well as the insights of team members at the King’s College London and the West Sussex Institute...

Book One of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics was the first of five core text books. It bridged the gap between GCSE and AS and A level Mathematics. It was designed to be accessible to students who had attained GCSE grade C and above, and to develop a strong foundation for...

Book Two of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics built on the foundations started in Book One. Like the other books in the series it consisted mainly of activities through which students could develop their understanding of mathematical ideas and results, or could apply their...

Book Three of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics contained the units that, with Books One and Two, made up the AS course. These units extended the students’ knowledge of algebra, calculus, exponential functions and handling data. It also introduced vectors.

Book Four of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics included the first five units of the core A2 part of the advanced level course. The book showed how to find polynomials to fit given data, it gave a number of ways of solving equations by iteration, and it also introduced...

Book Five of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics contained the last four units of the core A2 course. The units in this book completed the treatment of calculus and statistics in the core.
