Matrices

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 item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Maxima and Minima

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 and minimising

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.

Meadowbank School

This book, from the Nuffield Foundation, describes problems and events occurring in an imaginary school, each written up in the form of a case study designed to be of value to students and teachers in training. It is one of the eight publications prepared by the Science Teacher Education Project (STEP), a project...

Mean values

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

In this resource students learn how to find the mean values of quantities varying with time. This involves finding the area under graphs, initially by using...

Measure it

In this resource students estimate lengths and measure objects using both centimetres and millimetres.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

Measuring inflation using Laspeyres index

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Personal Finance. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.  The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant materials.

This explores how to...

Mechanics 1

The approach in this Nuffield Advanced Mathematics books was one of guided modelling supported by practical work. In each investigation, students were expected to:
*define the problem that you are going to investigate
*set up a mathematical model of the...

Mechanics 2

As with Mechanics 1, the approach in this Nuffield Advanced Mathematics book was one of guided modelling supported by practical work with the same expectations that, in each investigation students would:
*define the problem that you are going to investigate
*...
