Solving problems with circles and triangles
This lesson develops the concept of using geometric properties to solve problems. In particular students develop their ability in:
- Solving problems by determining the lengths of the sides in right triangles using trigonometry
- Finding the measurements of shapes by decomposing complex shapes...
Solving quadratic equations
This resource develops the concept of solving quadratic equations by taking square roots, completing the square, using the quadratic formula, and factoring.
The resource is set in the practical context of a bus cutting a corner that has a cycle lane. When a bus turns a corner, it must swing out so that its...

Solving the Maths Problem: International Perspectives on Mathematics Education
This resource, written by Emma Morris, outlines the core choices facing mathematics education and builds on the recommendations of the 2011 Vorderman Report, by examining which mathematics approaches and reforms have worked overseas. The paper does not recommend directly importing practice from either of the case...
