Help students develop deep understanding of integration rather than relying on surface-level pattern recognition.

This A Level Maths Integration SSDD (Same Surface, Different Deep Structure) Workbook challenges students to identify the correct integration method by analysing the structure of each problem before attempting a solution. Inspired by Craig Barton’s SSDD approach, the resource encourages mathematical thinking, method selection and conceptual understanding.

Students compare questions that appear similar but require very different techniques, helping them avoid common misconceptions and improve exam performance.

Topics covered:

• Power rule and standard integrals
• Reverse chain rule
• Integrals of the form f′(x)/f(x)
• Trigonometric integrals and identities
• Substitution
• Integration by parts (including repeated and cyclic cases)
• Partial fractions and algebraic division
• Definite integrals
• Area under and between curves
• Trapezium rule
• Separable differential equations
• Parametric curve area

Includes:

• Structured SSDD problem sets
• Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain activities
• Challenge questions
• Common misconception focus
• Full worked teacher answers
• Suitable for A Level Mathematics students aged 16-18

Perfect for classroom teaching, retrieval practice, revision lessons, independent study, intervention sessions and exam preparation.
