Each numbered card contains a question on the given topic and an answer to a question contained on a different card. Students are required to answer the question and then find the card containing their answer. The question on this next card is then answered. The process continues until the student returns to their...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of matrices, often used in the field of engineering. They include determinants, multiplying matrices, the inverse of a matrix and Cramer’s rule, which uses determinants to solve simultaneous equations.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce the language associated with matrices, to illustrate their use and begin to develop the algebra associated with them.

The resource consists of...

This resource is an interactive excel program which provides dynamic drawings and graphs related to the classic maximum volume of a box problem. There are two versions of the problem, one starting with a square base and the other with a rectangular base.

This Core Maths task is suitable for small group work and provides a good opportunity to demonstrate and encourage mathematical modelling.  Students investigate the minimum amount of metal needed to contain a given amount of drink in a can. They are encouraged to explore ...

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.

In this resource students explore the science of combustion in the context of fuel-burning stoves from around the world. They investigate the energy output from a variety of fuels covering calorific values, simple combustion chemistry, stove efficiency and chimney design. The unit ends with a design task requiring...

This resource features a task that explores matching an equation to a situation, solving the equation and then using the information to solve a further problem.

Ten people go out for dinner and have a choice of a three-course meal for $15 or a two-course meal for $12. The bill comes to $141. Five equations...
