Making connections - Teaching ResourcesUnderground Maths - Click here Mathematics is a coherent and connected enterprise. To reflect this we have organised our resources along a system of thematic tube lines. These resources support teachers in the classroom. They help students build firm foundations for mathematical understanding by connecting ideas and developing techniques

AS and A2 Crib Sheets
These crib sheets from www.dotmaths.com are really nice.
Gold Silver Bronze Papers
These Core and applied papers are not actual exam papers. They
have been put together so that the Bronze papers are made up of the
questions students found easier, the gold ones contain all the
questions students found really hard and the the silver ones are
made up of the questions that were somewhere in between. You may
find that some of the questions are quite similar in a paper (which
obviously wouldn't happen in a real paper), but they are a really
good way to see how you are getting on with the module. I suggest
you start with a bronze and work your way up to gold -

This collection contains all twelve issues of the iSquared magazine which are edited by Sarah Shepherd whose aim is to bring together a collection of articles that reflects the wide range of modern-day applications of mathematics. Many people are unaware that maths is more than just abstract concepts, inaccessible to all but those with a university education in the subject. In fact, mathematics can be appreciated by everyone. Each magazine contains regular news items, a mathematical histories feature, puzzles, book reviews and the life of a great mathematician as well as special articles on cryptography, crowd dynamics, string theory, neuroscience, aerodynamics, mathematical finance, environmental modelling, operational research, public transportation, relativity, game theory and medical imaging, to name just a few of the topics - Click here
