Inverse functions and completing the square

Teaching functions this week and was after some inverse function questions where students need to complete the square to find f^-1(x).
Easy enough to write (in fact I did earlier) but are there any out there that we know of. #mathsTLP

Writing own questions restricting domain to left/right of vertex point (suggestion from @cafemaths)

Edexcel large data set

I'm introducing the Edexcel Large Data Set to Year 12 this week. I have booked a computer room. I want them to get a sense of what is included in the data set, where the weather stations are and typical weather. Does anyone have anything?#MATHSTLP @BrookeEHunter @MissNorledge

Equations with unknowns both sides and forming equations

I have a heavy algebra week this week. Equations with the unknown (variable) on both sides. I also have equation problems involving the forming of an equation (shape or similar) and using it to find solutions any good resources on that one in particular? #MathsTLP
