This set of resources are part of our Transition to A level Mathematics: Essential Skills series, which focuses on the key skills that will be used across the whole spectrum of AS and A level Mathematics, to support students in the initial transition from GCSE to A level.
This particular set of resources looks at the ability to solve equations, which is fundamental in maths. Interpreting the solutions gained is equally important within real-world applications. Equations can take many forms from the linear and quadratic ones studied at GCSE to more complex ones studied at AS and A level. In this resource we will also look at inequalities which have many applications including maximising profit in business subject to constraints.
Each section includes:
- skills check
- a chance to practise and explore
- some extra ideas that you may want to investigate further
These resources should provide about 3 hours of work. If you really get engaged by the enrichment activities, you may want to spend longer than this.
Each resource includes either written worked solutions, video solutions or links to websites.
