Using P Scales to Assess Progress

This QCA document describes through case studies and activities how the P scales can be used in a range of educational settings to assess the progress of students.

The P scales were designed, like the programmes of...

Using Partial Fractions to Evaluate the Definite Integral of an Algebraic Fraction Example One

The first part of the mathematical solution explains how to express an algebraic fraction in partial fractions. The fraction used is a straight forward example solves by equating coefficients to obtain two simultaneous equations. The second part of the video uses the result of the first part of question in...

Using Partial Fractions to Evaluate the Definite Integral of an Algebraic Fraction Example Two

The mathematical solution explains how to express a function in partial fractions where the three denominators are linear. The result is used to find the definite integral of the original function, the solution given in terms of natural logarithms in its simplest form before calculating the decimal value.

Using Percentages to Increase Quantities N7

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students make links between percentages, decimals and fractions, represent percentage increase and decrease as multiplication and recognise the inverse relationship between increases and decreases. Most students will have met these concepts before, however, many will...

Using plastics in the body

This Catalyst article looks at how scientists are learning to use polymers for many medical applications, including implants, bone repairs and reduction in infections.

Using Positional Vocabulary

Published by LSIS, this mini mathematics module can be used a short activity in the classroom to introduce the vocabulary needed to describe an object's position. This can lead into a discussion on positions and co-ordinates.

Using positive and negative numbers in context

This lesson develops the concept of using directed numbers in the practical context of temperatures and temperature change. Particular attention is paid to the use of directed numbers on number lines to explore the structures:

• Starting temperature + Change in temperature = Final temperature
• ...
