Volume of 3-Dimensional Shapes

This video resource from Teachers TV is presented by Fran and Dave, who demonstrate practical applications of mathematics as they show how to calculate the volume of cylinders and prisms.

Graphics are used to demonstrate how to work out the volume of a cuboid, cylinder and prism. A problem is posed which...

Patterns In Nature

This is a Teachers’ TV programme from the series Painting with Numbers. In this episode Professor Marcus du Sautoy explains how mathematicians use numbers and equations to represent the world around us. He demonstrates how mathematics is threaded through the natural world by taking us on a journey showing how...

Zero to Infinity

This is a Teachers’ TV programme from the series Painting with Numbers. In this episode Professor Marcus du Sautoy explains how humans have developed numbers for their mathematical needs. We learn that humans first began counting with whole numbers only, but then needed to invent others as their mathematical...

Safety In Numbers

This is a Teachers’ TV programme from the series Painting with Numbers. In this episode Professor Marcus du Sautoy reveals how the language of mathematics is used to construct the complex codes that we encounter in everyday life, codes on mp3 players which allow us to store music, codes that allow us to search...
