A programme designed to academically challenge and stimulate those who are interested in applying to study maths at competitive universities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Balliol has two access programmes for Year 12 students: Floreat (Humanities), and Frontier (Science).

Balliol College Floreat Access Programme

Floreat participants on the summer residential.

Floreat is a year-long academic programme offered to Year 12 students from state schools in the London borough of Brent, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The programme offers the opportunity to engage with Oxford-style humanities teaching, and it is offered to students free of charge. The bulk of the academic content is delivered through a series of virtual academic seminars, led by Oxford University representatives and hosted after school hours. The programme also includes a residential summer school in Oxford during which students take part in a tutorial.

This opportunity suits academically able students who are interested in studying an arts/humanities programme at Oxbridge and who are keen to engage with academic ideas outside their school curriculum, ahead of applying to university the following year.

Participants experiencing the tutorial-style teaching that Oxford offers.

Taught sessions begin in Spring Term and end shortly after Easter. Students will have work to complete prior to attending the residential in August, during which they will receive support with the application process. Participants need to commit to attending all the seminars and the residential.
'In all likelihood, I would not have applied to Oxford, let alone Balliol, had I not taken part in the Floreat access scheme. The programme allowed me to meet similar people from local schools, helping me to grow in confidence both academically and socially, and helped me to realise that applying to Oxford would be the best thing I could possibly do to pursue my love of History.' - Gregory Brinkworth came to Balliol in 2016 to read for a BA History and 'Collaborating with like-minded individuals has developed both my understanding of topics and confidence in expressing my ideas.' Alex, 2021 g raduated with a first class honours degree.
Balliol College Frontier Access Programme

The residential is designed to give prospective applicants an idea of what student life is like at Oxford University.

Frontier is our science-based sustained contact programme which is open to Year 12 students who attend state schools in the London borough of Brent, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Like Floreat, this programme consists of a series of virtual academic seminars, for which students will have to prepare, beginning in Spring Term 2023 followed by a residential in August 2023.

This opportunity suits academically able students who are interested in studying a science programme at Oxbridge and who are keen to engage with academic ideas outside their school curriculum, ahead of applying to university the following year. Students explore the two themes of Health and Improving the Environment with input from a range of science subjects.

Further information and slides from the information evening.

On Thursday 3 November 2022, we ran an online information evening covering both of these programmes for 2023. if you would like to see the slides from that presentation, please use this link.

Application Forms

If you would like to apply for place on either Floreat or Frontier in 2023, please use the appropriate link below to submit an application. The closing date for applications for both Floreat and Frontier is 17:00 on Sunday 4th December.

Please do consider whether the time commitment required is realistic before submitting an application, as spaces for this opportunity are limited and we cannot take new participants once the programme has started.

Skip to content

Ritangle is a competition designed for teams of students aged 16‌-‌18 who are currently studying either:

A level Mathematics

the International Baccalaureate

Scottish Highers

qualifications with equivalent content.

No knowledge of maths beyond A level Mathematics is required.

Students who take part are so engaged and excited by it, every year. They live and breathe it for the duration. And they learn so much from being involved in it.

What can we win?

The prize for the winning team is usually a maths hamper, containing a mix of prizes for individual team members and their school. It includes a free year-long subscription to Integral, and a trophy for the school or college of the winning team!

Every year we are generously supported by friends who contribute to Ritangle's maths hamper prize.

Using technology

The Ritangle rules state: "Any help with the questions is permitted, including finding information about the questions on the web and using technology."

You may have never used technology to solve a mathematical problem before but it can be extremely helpful - it can illuminate aspects of the problem that you may not have otherwise noticed and it can be great fun.

Technology can certainly help with some of the questions in Ritangle. This can range from using spreadsheets, to using graphing software, right the way through to coding. You might also find Computer Algebra Systems useful - these can perform algebraic processes in the same way that calculators carry out arithmetic.

Frequently asked questions

General

Ritangle is a free maths competition aimed at teams of sixth form/ college students running from early October to mid-December. The 'Stage 1' questions are released one at a time across this period; the answers unlock information to solve the final multi-part question.

Stage 1 questions can be viewed on the MEI Twitter feed and registered teams can access them through their team login.

The final question is available only to registered teams through their team login.

Registration

1. School/college name

2. Team Captain's name

3. Team Captain's e-mail address

4. Nominating Teacher's name

5. Nominating Teacher's e-mail address

Taking part

Rules will be published at the start of the competition.

One of the most important rules is about not sharing answers. Please don't share your answers outside your team, online or anywhere else; others are having fun finding them!

Please note: anyone found leaking the answers or clues inappropriately and anyone found making intentional use of such leaks will be disqualified from the competition.

Yes! We encourage the use of technology; spreadsheets, graphing software and programming can be particularly useful. Any use of online resources/search engines is also permitted.

When we explore maths for ourselves these days, we may have a spreadsheet, a graphing program, a CAS program and a programming environment open simultaneously, and we want Ritangle to have that flavour. We think it is reasonable to expect students to be able to use a graphing program and a spreadsheet. Programming knowledge will not, however, be required for the final question.

On the other hand, we accept that when working against the clock (such as while working on the final task) methods using technology may have outpaced more traditional methods. We bear this in mind when constructing tasks.

Please note: any team repeatedly attempting to use an automated process to systematically enter answers until the correct answer is found will be disqualified from the competition.

This is tricky. We have tried 9:00 (2016-2018 inclusive) but this favours students whose schools are happy for them to go off timetable for part of the day. On the other hand, 16:00 makes life difficult for other students, who may be travelling at that time. Support for each of these start times has been about equal amongst participants.

Our solution is to make the final task harder to complete quickly, so that the winning time lies between two days and seven days. This is a delicate balancing act.

We have considered dropping the race-to-the-line element of the final task, and having a more qualitative task for those scoring fully on the final question. We have decided to shelve this alternative for now.

Winning

Every team that submits a creditable answer to the final question will receive a certificate, emailed to their Nominated Teacher.

The winning team will receive a maths hamper, containing a mix of prizes for individual team members and their school. It includes a free year-long subscription to Integral, and a trophy for the school or college of the winning team. We reserve the right to substitute a prize of equivalent value but of less weight/bulk should the winning team be based abroad.

Please note: the following is subject to the team providing sufficient evidence (in the opinion of the judges) of their working.

Answers for the final question will be accepted up until the date published in the Information and Rules document.

Scenario 1
The team scoring most highly on the final question will be declared the winner, subject to their working satisfying the judges.
Scenario 2
If there is more than one team with the highest score on the final question, the winner will be chosen, from such teams, as the team that submitted those answers first, subject to their working satisfying the judges.
Scenario 3
In the event that the above does not determine a winner, the winning team will be chosen at the discretion of the judges based on the answers submitted.

This is the NRICH collection of materials to help you to prepare for university and to help you to appreciate how exciting and interesting advanced mathematics and its applications can be. You might have already chosen a course or might be thinking about which university subject would best suit your interests. You might even have been to university and want to see how mathematics works in a discipline other than your own!

In this collection there are small selections of problems to do and articles to read. We suggest that you take your time over these to allow yourself to really get involved with the concepts, some of which might seem rather unusual. We have chosen the material to cover both core mathematical topics and mathematical styles of thinking that are useful at university.

If you are planning to apply to a university that uses STEP as part of its conditional offers, you may find our free online STEP Support Programme helpful.

A series of maths problem solving classes designed to develop students' problem solving skills so they have the confidence to apply for universities that include an admissions test as part of their offer.

These regular classes offer students the opportunity to develop their problem-solving skills by trying out challenging problems that require deep mathematical thinking, and so help them meet the challenges they may face in embarking on a maths-rich university course or career. The problems are fun and rewarding and attending the sessions will enrich a student's mathematical experience.

Students will look at problems from a range of sources including Sixth Term Examination Papers (STEP) used by Cambridge and Warwick Universities and the Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT) used by Oxford University and Imperial College, London.

Aims

To develop confidence in dealing with maths problems

To develop students' resilience when attempting maths problems

To provide information about the problem solving skills required in university admissions tests

To give students the opportunity to attempt problems both in groups and on their own

To give students the opportunity to think about how solutions to problems are presented

To provide students with the opportunity to explore areas of maths not in the standard curriculum

To provide students with the opportunity to study questions from the STEP and the MAT examinations.

Who will benefit from attending?

The classes are suitable for any A level Mathematics student with an enquiring mind who wish to develop their problem solving ability at A level and beyond.

They are particularly suitable for those students who are required to sit an admissions test as part of a university offer.

Content

Students attending the classes will encounter problems covering a variety of topics. These include:

Working with integers

Reasoning and logic

Sequences and series

Induction

Curve sketching and identification

Coordinate geometry

Vectors

Trigonometry

Complex numbers

Integration

Differential equations

Materials and Equipment

If the classes are being held online, you will need access to suitable equipment. You are advised to use a headset or headphones with an inline microphone to provide the best sound quality and to prevent audio issues for other users. A laptop with a built-in webcam and microphone may be sufficient if you're in a quiet area but please take the time to check this before the session. BBB is designed to be used on a variety of platforms but you will get the best experience via a desktop or laptop computer, running either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox as the browser.

Note: Internet Explorer and Edge are not suitable currently.

Access to GeoGebra or desmos will also be useful.

Study Schedule

The dates for the sessions are as follows:

1/10/22, 15/10/22, 29/10/22, 12/11/22, 26/11/22, 10/12/22, 14/1/23, 28/1/23

There is an expectation that students will attend all sessions, and if there is a day which they cannot attend then they communicate that prior to the course starting.

A free weekly livestream (every Thursday at 16:30). One hour of maths problems, puzzles, mini-lectures, and Q&A.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Welcome to the club! The Oxford Online Maths Club is a weekly livestream from the University of Oxford with maths problems, puzzles, mini-lectures, and Q&A. It's free, interactive, casual, and relaxed, and the livestreams are recorded so that you can watch back afterwards if you can't make it to the live broadcast on Thursday afternoons. The club is mostly aimed at people about to apply to university or about to start a Maths course, but everyone's welcome and there's no registration needed. Whether you're the only person you know who's interested in mathematics, or if you're an entire sixth-form maths club looking for more maths content, we're here for you.

Our regular host is Dr James Munro (admissions and outreach coordinator for Maths at Oxford), and we often have current Oxford students answering questions in chat and appearing on the livestream to talk about maths. In some of the episodes we tackle tricky maths problems, in some of them we explore one maths topic in more detail, and in some of them we have a current Oxford student or member of staff on the livestream to talk about a bit of maths they love.

(Almost) every episode comes with some further reading notes for you to explore the topics we cover in the livestream in more depth. If you're looking for super-curricular mathematics (perhaps you're looking for an EPQ topic, or you're trying to explore maths beyond the classroom before applying to university), then this should be a good place to start. Click on "Further Reading" under any episode on this page to see these notes.

MadAsMaths.com :: I.Y.G.B. Practice Papers :: A Level Practice Papers 2019 Spec :: MP2 Practice Papers

I.Y.G.B. MP2 PRACTICE PAPERS

These I.Y.G.B. practice papers mostly follow the Pearson/Edexcel Syllabus introduced for teaching from 2017.

Some modules will be first examined in 2018 and some in 2019.

* Papers A to R have standard difficulty with later papers usually more difficult.
* Papers S and T are extremely hard.
* Papers U to Z are hard.

All papers have model solutions.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Any of the topics in the new A level "pure" specification may appear on any of the two "pure" papers MP1 and MP2.

However in the I.Y.G.B. MP1 and MP2 practice papers the topics have been grouped in such a fashion, so that the I.Y.G.B. MP1 practice papers can be used by students taking the AS "pure" paper.

These papers are legacy Edexcel Exam Papers, however they have been edited to reflect the new A Level Specifications. I have included new questions, not found in the old specs, so as to make it suitable for the new A level requirements. I've made Paper 1 Pure Practice Papers into an AS Pure Papers so that they can be used by students taking AS Pure Paper.

I've created those papers in the only intention of helping teachers to deliver the new A level specifications and helping students in their revision for their A level exams. They will supplement the existing practice papers out there and hopefully will provide a big relief for all teachers and students who have been asking for more practice papers!
I've used code J8 which means January 2008 (I've combined Jan 2008 C1, C2 & C3 paper into a single AS Pure Paper). Code M8 means May 2008; J9 means Jan 2009; M9 means May 2009 etc... : These papers have been solely edited by me and are for educational purposes only, and not for financial gain

Below are all the topics covered for the Year 2 Pure Maths A-Level course.

The topics have been broken down with corresponding legacy exam Questions and their mark schemes, both carefully edited to the new AS level 2018 Specifications. The topics have been organised so as to make it easier for teachers and students to assess them.

There are two sets of Exam Questions, from 2005 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2018. 'Solutions' are detailed written solutions and 'MS' are the edited mark schemes for each Exam Questions.

'Exam Style Qs' will have questions on any new topics which were not in the old A level Specifications. They will compensate the legacy ' Exam Qs'

Students who need help on particular topics can access more practice questions in 'Extra Practice'
All of the exam questions on the website are under copyright, held by the exam board Edexcel. I have drawn mostly on resources which have been made publicly online with the intention of abiding by the 'fair use' principle for educational purposes. They are certainly not for any financial gain
