Mathematical Miscellany #94

A mathematics resources compilation.


The GCSE Revision 24 collection has been updated. 1st Class Maths is excellent for providing practice papers; Edexcel Practice Paper 1 is now available for Foundation as well as Higher. The questions are all original and based on high-frequency paper 1 topics.

Backwards faded combining ratios – Dave Taylor

Dave Taylor has been adding to his excellent Backwards Faded Maths resources. Recent additions include Reverse Percentage Decrease, Combining Average Speeds, Forming Equations and Ratio, Electricity Readings, Ratio, Fractions and Percentages, and Angles in Polygons.

The Backwards Faded section of Dave Taylor’s website includes an introduction, to quote from the introduction –

‘In backward faded worked examples, students are required to try to find a solution in the last step on problem 1, the last two steps on problem 2, and so on. In other words, students are required to continue the steps given to solve the problem.’

Try this useful resource for plotting linear and non-linear graphs from Andy Lutwyche. The resource was designed to revise plotting linear graphs from an equation before moving on to non-linear graphs (quadratic, cubic, reciprocal and exponential). It’s great to have the grids provided (and answers).
