This is a collection of three posters, each containing an incorrect conclusion from a seemingly correct proof. I have used them as good starter activities with classes to get them thinking about how they prove concepts and how to find errors. The proofs included show that 1=2, 3=0 and 1+2+3+4+…=-1/12.

This sheet simply presents 60 different expressions to be integrated. A variety of different methods must be used, such as integration by parts, trigonometric identities and so on, however the questions do not indicate which method must be used in each case. The bundle includes a sheet of just questions, a sheet of just answers and a document including the questions, answers and worked solutions to each question. I have found this very useful for students at the end of the A Level Maths course to get them to think about the different methods that they must use and what clues to look for in the questions.

This file is a collection of posters to be printed out and displayed in your room or around the Maths department. There are 32 posters, each being half an A4 sheet, with examples shown in the cover image photo. The posters cover a wide range of topics with suitable ideas for KS3, 4 and 5. There are numbers at the top of each poster, intended to encourage students to seek out others that they have not seen - we put 5 or so non-sequential posters in each teaching room.

This document provides a glossary for Decision Maths algorithms and ideas, with links to YouTube videos demonstrating how to perform those algorithms.

This powerpoint will go through the main points when dealing with an integer solution constrained simplex algorithm problem. A video of the powerpoint in use can be found at the address below: https://youtu.be/tsXlclDkzuA

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.

This is a quiz, split into three rounds, on the Large Data Set from Edexcel for the A Level Mathematics course. The 3 rounds are: • Round 1 = Locations. Questions ensure that students know which locations are covered by the large data set and where these locations are found. • Round 2 = Variables. Which variables are given for each of the different locations? • Round 3 = Units and Data Which units are used for each of the variables and some specific questions on some anomalies in the weather or data? The quiz is presented in a variety of formats to allow for different methods of delivery to a class: • Just The Questions Suitable for administering the quiz in a test format. One file has all rounds in it, and there are three separate files for individual rounds. • PowerPoints Two versions of each round have been provided. One where each question is given followed immediately by the answer, and one where all answers are saved until the end of the PowerPoint. • Answer Sheets These can be used alongside the PowerPoints, or if the test is being delivered orally. • Questions And Answers All questions and answers provided together, either on multiple sheets, or all on one sheet.

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. There is a video of the powerpoint in use at the link below: https://youtu.be/ojjnd5gEMuk

This is a collection of 15 posters containing quotes from a variety of mathematicians and other notable people, concerning Mathematics and inspirational things to think about success and failure. A useful addition to any classroom.

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 powerpoint presentation will go through an example of how to find the critical path on an activity network, demonstrating the earliest and latest event times, and the float. There is a video of the resource being used at the address below: https://youtu.be/XqVdHW9-0DE

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 document contains 25 different Maths puzzles, with answers, that provide good challenges to students of all levels. All are accessible to the weakest students, but challenging to even the highest performers. I regularly use them as fillers, homeworks and conversation starters.

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
