Maximising and minimising

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

Here, students are asked to use differentiation to find maximum and minimum points in polynomial functions in order to solve a variety of real-life problems.

Maximising learning in practical science sessions

This report, published in 2009 by LSIS, describes an action research project undertaken by Exeter College. The research had several aims: * improve the learning in practical sessions * share good practice between sections within the faculty * agree on some underlying principles for maximising learning in practical...
