Teaching A level mathematics: proof, problem solving and modellingMY216
Changes to A level specifications are to be introduced in 2017. These will require all students to study aspects of Pure mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. In addition, three overarching themes of Mathematical Argument and Proof, Problem Solving, and Mathematical Modelling must be applied across the whole A...Fermi problems
A Fermi problem involves making estimates and using mathematics to answer a question, in more colloquial language they might be termed ‘back of envelope’ calculations.Many of the questions don’t have clear cut answers, and sometimes alternative paths to solutions are possible.The level of mathematics required is...0Box problem
In this Core Maths task students investigate how to make a box of maximum volume from a given square of card. The ultimate objective is to model a method to work out a box of maximum volume for any size of rectangle.The activity sheet outlines the task for students.The first set of teachers' notes...0 Problem solving in mathematics: realising the vision through better assessment
This ACME report from June 2016 looks at problem solving in mathematics, with particular focus on summative assessment.Within the report ACME welcomes the strong emphasis on problem solving in recent reforms. It calls for "strong collaboration between the mathematics community, the Department for Education,...0 Fermi problems: Fermi challenge
This problem assumes that students have completed the ‘Moving Mount Fuji’ problem and is intended to be used as a competition. The problem consists of three separate short problems: 1. How many bricks are needed to build a house.2. What is the value of change that can be fitted in a 5 litre bucket.3. How many...0
