Provision of maths support for student in higher education institutionsNilsson, Galina and Luchinskaya, D. (2012) Provision of maths support for student in higher education institutions, The 40th Annual Congress of the Nordic Educational Research Association: March 8-10, 2012, Copenhagen, http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hv:diva-4859
This study analyses the efficiency of maths support provision in two universities: Leeds Metropolitan University, UK and Högskolan Väst, Sweden. This is an on-going collaboration between two universities and in this paper we present the results of this study focussing on the academic staff prospective, using questionnaires, observations and interviews with tutors.

RatiosA ratio is a way of comparing two or more similar quantities, by writing two
or more numbers separated by colons. The numbers should be whole numbers, and
should not include units.

Responding to the Mathematics Problem : The Implementation of Institutional Support MechanismsThis volume arose from a conference, 'Addressing the Quantitative Skills Gap: Establishing
and Sustaining Cross-Curricular Mathematical Support in Higher Education', held at the
University of St Andrews in 2007. The aim of that conference, and of this volume of
collected essays, is to explore the logistics and economics of establishing and sustaining
institution-wide mathematics support provision.
We explore a range models for delivering mathematical support accommodating an even
wider range of budgets. Additionally, we identify how universities can call upon their maths
support provision to demonstrate that they are addressing institutional agendas including
quality enhancement, employability and skills, the first year experience, flexible delivery,
retention, and the student learning experience. Looking to the future we note how
mathematics support has broadened from its original focus on the STEM subjects and
discuss how emerging technologies are being exploited for its provision.
Rules of arithmeticEvaluating expressions involving numbers is one of the basic tasks in
arithmetic. But if an expression is complicated then it may not be clear
which part of it should be evaluated first, and so some rules must be
established. There are also rules for calculating with negative numbers.

Setting up a maths support centre (HE STEM)The focus of this HE STEM guide is to provide mathematics support to students across all STEM disciplines to ease the transition from School/College in to University. This is a key factor influencing drop-out from STEM degrees and a targeted provision for mathematics support is a proven way to counter this. It includes cases studies from the Universities of Coventry, Portsmouth, York. Lincoln and Kent and articulates the experiences of the two Sigma Directors Professor Duncan Lawson, Coventry University and Professor Tony Croft, Loughborough University joint winners of the 2011 Times Higher Award for Outstanding Support for Students
Simplifying fractionsFractions involving symbols occur frequently. It is necessary to be able to simplify these and rewrite them in different, but equivalent forms. In this leaflet, we revise how these processes are carried out.
Simultaneous linear equationsThis is a complete workbook introducing the solution of a pair of simultaneous linear equations. It contains plenty of examples and exercises.
It can be used as a free-standing resource or in conjunction with the mathtutor DVD.
Simultaneous Linear Equations Part 1The purpose of this section is to look at the solution of simultaneous linear equations. We will see that solving a pair of simultaneous equations is equivalent to finding the location of the point of intersection of two straight lines.
