This is a concept development lesson that develops thinking on decomposing complex shapes into simpler ones in order to solve a problem. There is work on bringing together several geometric concepts to solve a problem. Students also find the relationship between radii of inscribed and circumscribed circles of right...

There is a high demand for engineers in the UK and engineering is one of the most in demand jobs globally. From apprentices to technicians; graduates to postgraduates, engineers are needed at all levels, in a wide range of sectors.

This leaflet provides guidance for teachers, with key points about...

Instant Maths Ideas is a collection of resources designed for teachers to delve into for inspiration, providing the busy teacher with ideas for starters, extension questions and probing questions to supplement their lesson plan. The collection contains three sub collections: Number and Algebra, Space and Shape and...

This collection of resources from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications includes:

• Mathematics careers resources as well as materials developed by the More Maths Grads project
• The Mathematics Matters case studies;...

The module, from the Nuffield Foundation, focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of directed numbers. The approach is the highly unusual one of representing directed numbers by equivalence classes of ordered pairs. This representation is supported by the use of a cardboard ‘machine’ which the...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of integration and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include integration as the reverse of differentiation, integration by...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of integration, often used in the field of engineering. They include linearity rules of integration, integration by parts, integration by substitution and integration as the reverse of differentiation.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for...

This series of excel sheets look at the area of regions bounded by linear and quadratic graphs.

The first interactive sheet calculates the area under the line y = mx + c between limits A and B. The effect on the area...

The first of two RISP activities, Modelling the Spread of a Disease requires students to carry out a simulation of a disease spreading. Students carry out an experiment...

The initial problem looks at an area given between two curves. The first curve is a parabola with the x and y axis intercepts given. The second curve is a stretch parallel...

This collection of resource materials from the National Strategies focuses on important ideas and processes which underpin a sound understanding of mathematical thinking and reasoning in the key areas of proportional reasoning, linear equations, geometrical thinking and handling data.  ...
