Fractions - basic ideasWhat are fractions? Fractions are ways of writing parts of whole numbers. For
example if we take a pizza, and divide it up equally between 4 people, each
person will have 1/4 or, written in words, one quarter of the pizza.

Further Work Developing Graduate Skills in HE Mathematics ProgrammesA follow-up to the booklet 'Developing Graduate Skills in HE Mathematics Programmes', which offered exemplars of ways in which graduate skills had been successfully developed through curricular initiatives. Three projects reported here develop the earlier good practice - around employment awareness, presentation of written work and reflection and articulation of skills - and provide evidence that this can be transferred to new circumstances. Two projects develop maths-specific advice and curriculum resources around developing students' speaking and writing skills. This report was edited by Peter Rowlett.

Glasgow Caledonian University Mathematics Summer SchoolThe Summer School has operated on the same general principles since 1991. It helps prepare students for entry into programmes for which they have a conditional offer. It features tailored instruction, flexible attendance and delivery and continuous supportive feedback.
Good Practice on Inclusive Curricula in the Mathematical SciencesCourses with substantial mathematical content pose specific accessibility challenges beyond those usually considered in generic inclusive curricula good practice advice. This guide draws on knowledge and experience from academic staff, professional support staff, disability researchers and students. Contributions explore technical and pedagogic barriers and the way these may be formed by the modes in which mathematics is communicated. The contributions provide strong evidence of the need for collaboration between the MSOR community and the support professionals in dissolving barriers and moving together towards the goal of inclusive curricula.

Graduates' Views on the Undergraduate Mathematics CurriculumOver 400 mathematics graduates were surveyed 2.5 years after graduation. They were asked to reflect on the knowledge and skills they believed that they developed during their mathematical study, and to assess how useful these skills have been during their career to date. These data were benchmarked against an earlier survey of incoming undergraduates' expectations. This aimed to determine whether the higher education mathematics syllabus adequately prepares students for the workplace. This report provides context, describes and discusses the findings of this research. This report was written by Matthew Inglis, Tony Croft and Janette Matthews.

Greatest common divisor and congruences - NumbasGiven two numbers, find the greatest common divisor (gcd), then use Bezout's algorithm to find 's' and 't' such that 'as+bt=operatorname{gcd}(a,b)'.
Finally, find all solutions of an equation $mod b$. Numbas resources have been made available under a Creative Commons licence by Bill Foster and Christian Perfect, School of Mathematics & Statistics at Newcastle University.
Handling your emotionsStudying mathematics as an adult can be a daunting (or even terrifying!) task. Not only do you need to make progress in your studies, you also may need to handle your negative emotions towards the subject as they can hinder you from achieving your full potential.
The purpose of this leaflet is to give you some ideas and techniques that might help you to handle your emotions better when learning and doing mathematics.

HE Mathematics Curriculum SummitThe HE Mathematics Curriculum Summit on 12 January 2011 brought together representatives of half of the mathematical sciences departments in England and Wales and the professional bodies for a day of debate and discussion on the state of HE mathematics course design and delivery. This report gives summaries of the debate, talks and discussions as well as a series of recommendations of current priorities for curriculum development in mathematical sciences.
