This interactive resource, produced by the University of Leicester, is designed to enable students to explore what is meant by a quadratic equation, the meaning of the coefficients of a quadratic equation and to be able to solve quadratic equations. An introduction page gives examples of where quadratic equations...

This resource contains eleven problems requiring students to explore the graphs of quadratic equations, intersection points of quadratics and straight lines, explain what will be the same and what will be different about the graphs of two quadratic functions, transform quadratic graphs, find the odd one out,...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics to explore aspects of the subject which may not normally be encountered, to encourage new ways to approach a problem mathematically and to broaden the range of tools that an A Level...

The investigation begins by looking at the area of three segments related to a quadratic. The first segment is the area between the curve and the x-axis. Each of the other...

This resource contains four excel programs with interactive spreadsheets dealing with topics relating to quadratic expressions, their graphs and solving quadratic equations.

Queen Elizabeth’s School in Dorset looked to embed problem solving skills to students in lower school, which allowed students taking the Core Maths course adjusted well to the problem solving focus of Core Maths and a teaching strategy which supports and guides them to find solutions to problems independently....

Mathcentre provide these resources, which cover a selection of the mathematics which students may need to review, to support their progress in their chosen programme of study. These resources are designed to outline techniques or formula which students can use independently to revise a topic briefly, and then...

This very successful citizen science project is run annually by the RSPB. It is an ideal opportunity for pupils of all ages to identify different bird species and count the numbers they see in the school grounds. Details about the competition and the RSPB supporting materials can be found...

This activity booklet uses the real life context of air traffic control using radar signals to identify the position of an aeroplane that students act out. It provides them with an opportunity to use their knowledge of waves and speed = distance / time to calibrate and calculate the distance a plane is from the...

This collection of interactive excel sheets look at radians, arc length, sector area, converting to and from degrees, and other related problems.

The first sheet displays a sector of a circle and corresponding...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at radiation, and will make the student familiar with many forms of radiation, how it is measured, and what different doses can lead to over time. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in...
