A simple activity where the student is presented with the front side and plan elevations of a block-based shape, which they must create. This has proved to be quite challenging for many students and some of the shapes are demanding for even the most able.

A simple to use spreadsheet that will calculate all values and the total area for two specific quadratic equations, using the Trapezium Rule, for up to 254 strips.

A single sheet clearly explaining each stage of the Simplex Algorithm.

A revision guide with each rule, expression and formula for Vectors. Originally developed for Further Pure 3 unit.

A revision guide with each rule, expression and formula for Vectors. Originally developed for Further Pure 3 unit.

A spreadsheet that graphically represents the approximations from Binomial to Poisson and Binomial to Normal Distributions, allowing you to input different values of the various parameters to see how it affects the approximation.

The powerpoint will work through an example of using the two-stage method for solving simplex algorithm problems. A video of the powerpoint being used can be found at the address below: https://youtu.be/SLwAUYvSfZI

This spreadsheet will allow you to greater analyse the performance of your students in a test. It will automatically calculate totals, percentages, grades (according to grade boundaries that you specify) etc. It will also colour-code performances on questions against the maximum marks available and provide you with the opportunity to print out individually tailored feedback sheets to your students. I have found that this gives me an excellent method for communicating with students about their relative performance, rather than simply telling them that they have achieved 58% for example. The file will come to you as a password protected document. The reason for this is so that it is not possible to make changes to the formulae and thus make it so that it does not work. You do not need to unprotect it to make full use of it, but just in case you wish to make changes, the password for the file is “table”. I have made a video demonstrating it and telling you how to use it, which can be found at: https://youtu.be/G0_WWFINHqM I also have a larger version available, also on the TES website, for the analysis of up to ten tests, allowing you to compare a student or class throughout those tests.

This PowerPoint will guide you through the application of The Simplex Algorithm, as featured in the Edexcel Further Maths Decision course. The PowerPoint covers both Maximising and Minimising problems. There is a video demonstrating the use of this PowerPoint available at the link below: https://youtu.be/t0NkCDigq88

This is a powerpoint to demonstrate the use of the Simplex Algorithm when integer solutions are called for, and it supplements the other Simplex Algorithm powerpoint that is available on TES too. There is a video demonstrating the use of this powerpoint available at the link below: https://youtu.be/ICBrU_wghSs

The Powerpoint shows how to use the minimum spanning tree method to find a lower bound for the Travelling Salesman Problem. There is a video showing its use available at the address below: https://youtu.be/VcugXirtWOo

The Powerpoint shows how to use the minimum spanning tree method to find an upper bound for the Travelling Salesman Problem. There is a video showing its use available at the address below: https://youtu.be/xN9ZtYzPewg

This PowerPoint will guide you through the process of finding an upper bound for the Travelling Salesman Problem using the Nearest Neighbour method. This was created with the Edexcel A Level Further Maths course in mind, but it should be suitable for others too.
