This excel program illustrates the effect of introducing bias when throwing coins.

The first interactive excel sheet simulates the outcome of throwing a coin ten times. The probability of each outcome is plotted and...

This resource contains two excel files which encourage exploration of the background to Pythagoras' Theorem and give practice in its application. Each file contains the same nine sheets of questions which may be suitable for use in the classroom.

This resource contains four excel programs with interactive spreadsheets dealing with topics relating to quadratic expressions, their graphs and solving quadratic equations.

...

The different types of quadrilateral are illustrated in the first seven interactive sheets of this excel file. Examples of each type of quadrilateral are shown and then further examples illustrated on a coordinate grid. The next sheet is more like a quiz as...

This activity provides the opportunity for students to appreciate how mathematics plays a part in everyday life. The town council has allocated £100,000 to spend on reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries due to road accidents. Students are expected to adopt the role of planners who work in small teams...

This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can production outcome data from a manufacturing process be analysed to optimise the process? Students consider the outputs of resistors to see the outcomes form a normal...

This resource contains two interactive excel files which deal with rounding of discrete and continuous variables and pose problems involving practical examples of calculations using rounded values.

Rounded Numbers: Bounds The first interactive sheet shows two numbers rounded to the nearest...

This Barefoot Computing resource builds on the ‘Maths quiz with selection’ learning activities which should be undertaken first.

It involves improving an existing Scratch maths quiz and adding score-keeping using...

The first five interactive sheets deal with various types of diagram involving similar triangles. Each sheet shows a clear diagram and a table of values. Lengths of line segments can be revealed to allow the student to calculate the scale factor of enlargement and the...

This contains two excel programs with interactive spreadsheets designed to show the graphical solution to pairs of simultaneous equations and provide their solutions.

...

The first sheet of this interactive excel file provides students with calculations to confirm that ^a...

In this activity, students explore the questions: What are the main sources of air pollution? What is the impact of transport emissions on air pollution and the natural environment? What can we do to reduce air pollution coming from transport? To what extent can emissions be reduced if solar powered cars instead of...

This activity introduces children to simulations - modelling or acting out real-world, or maybe imaginary, situations. Linking to the teaching of space, it asks what factors need to be considered when simulating the solar system. Out of these, the children then decide what the most important things to include in...
