Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician? Comment recorded on the 24 May 'Starter of the Day' page by Ruth Seward, Hagley Park Sports College: "Find the starters wonderful; students enjoy them and often want to use the idea generated by the starter in other parts of the lesson. Keep up the good work" Comment recorded on the 19 November 'Starter of the Day' page by Lesley Sewell, Ysgol Aberconwy, Wales: "A Maths colleague introduced me to your web site and I love to use it. The questions are so varied I can use them with all of my classes, I even let year 13 have a go at some of them. I like being able to access Starters for the whole month so I can use favourites with classes I see at different times of the week. Thanks."		Whose Idea Was This?

Go Maths Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths page is an alphabetical list of free activities designed for students in Secondary/High school. Maths Map Are you looking for something specific? An exercise to supplement the topic you are studying at school at the moment perhaps. Navigate using our Maths Map to find exercises, puzzles and Maths lesson starters grouped by topic.

In General

$$\int ax^n \text{dx} = \frac{ax^{n+1}}{n+1}+c \quad \text{ for all } n \neq -1$$

Tutorial

Mathematical Notation

Use the ^ key to type in a power or index then the right arrow or tab key to end the power.

For example: Type 3x^2 to get 3x².

Use the forward slash / to type a fraction then the right arrow or tab key to end the fraction.

For example: Type 1/2 to get ½.

Fractions should be given in their lowest terms.

Answers to definite integral questions should be given as exact fractions or to three significant figures if the decimal answer does not terminate.

Special Functions

$$\int e^x \; \text{dx} = e^x + c$$ $$\int \frac1x \; \text{dx} = \ln x + c$$ $$\int \cos x \; \text{dx} = \sin x + c$$ $$\int \sin x \; \text{dx} = -\cos x + c$$

Composite Functions

$$\int e^{ax+b} \; \text{dx} = \frac1a e^{ax+b} + c$$ $$\int (ax+b)^n \; \text{dx} = \frac1a \frac{(ax+b)^{n+1}}{n+1} + c \text{,} \quad (n \neq -1)$$ $$\int \frac{1}{ax+b}\; \text{dx} = \frac1a \ln (ax+b)+ c \text{,} \quad (ax+b \gt 0)$$ $$\int \cos (ax+b) \; \text{dx} = \frac1a \sin (ax+b) + c$$ $$\int \sin (ax+b) \; \text{dx} = - \frac1a \cos (ax+b) + c$$

The following identities may also prove useful:

$$\sin^2x = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cos 2x \text{ and } \cos^2x = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cos 2x$$
