This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can a camera, mounted on a helicopter, be used to track the location of a ground-based object? A number of discussion ideas are considered before using 2D and 3D...

This excel file contains a series of sheets which generate different types of equations involving algebraic fractions. The different types include denominators which are single term, linear and quadratic expressions. The quadratic expressions all have 1 as the...

This excel file contains a series of sheets which generate terms involving algebraic fractions which need to be combined and simplified. The different types include denominators which are single term, linear and quadratic expressions.

This excel program contains two interactive spreadsheets designed to explore the gradient functions of cubic and quadratic functions.

The first activity enables students to alter the coefficients in the function ax2+...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spreadsheets related to the equation of the circle. The first sheets enable the student to alter the radius and centre of the circles centred at the origin and elsewhere. The program allows the student to view the...

This interactive excel program enables students to investigate cubic functions and the relationship between the factorised form and the graph.

The first activities require the student to use the factor theorem to...

This excel program is about finding the equation of straight lines in the form ax+by+c=0. The first two sheets deals with the equation of the line through two given points and the equation of the line through a point perpendicular to a given line. The resource is an...

This excel file contains a series of sheets which give practice in rearranging formulae and substituting values. Clicking on the subject of the formula reveals the rearranged form. The answers to the calculations are also available.

Composite Functions
The first five sheets all have a similar format. A number is operated on by...

This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can you calculate the energy used, or made available, when the volume of a gas is changed? A bicycle pump, a refrigerator and the internal combustion engine change the...

This excel file allows students to explore the successive terms of a Geometric Series. The first term and the common ratio can be altered and the successive terms and sum of the series shown on bar charts. The formula for the sum of a Geometric Series is derived and the...

This series of interactive excel sheets help investigate geometric series and progressions.

The first sheet generates the terms of a geometric progression, for |r| ≥ 1, and the value of a further term. A new sequence...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spread sheets designed to explore the concept of a gradient of a curve.

The first activity illustrates that the gradient of a function, at a point P, is the gradient...
