This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), requires students to design a magnetic tool holder for a robot surgeon.
It is intended that students will:
• Appreciate the potential of...
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore circle area, accuracy of measure, percentages and data handling by investigating defects in steel production.
"A company has invented a system...
In this resource students are given a quadrilateral with one angle of 60 degrees and varying side lengths- with two of the sides of equal length. The challenge is to calculate the lengths of the diagonals.
Each student worksheet contains a different quadrilateral, but the solutions all have something in...
This problem solving lesson is designed to assess how well students understand strength of correlation.
The problem looks at some scatter diagrams related to a cinema. The owner is looking to see if there is a correlation between:
- Temperature and ice creams sold
- Length of movie and...
Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path for a given problem. Dijkstra's algorithm can be used to find the shortest route between two cities. This algorithm is so powerful that it not only finds the shortest path from a chosen source to a given destination, it also finds all of the shortest paths from the...
This activity requires students to calculate net income after tax and national insurance have been deducted. Students then are asked to discuss if the progressive taxation system is fair. Answers to each of the calculations are available.
The presentation shows how income tax and national insurance rates are...
The Nuffield Foundation provides this activity which uses examples in the context of shape and space to help students understand how big errors may be, and how errors accumulate when measurements are used in calculations. This is particularly important in scientific contexts. Students are required to find the upper...
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, shines a light on the area of a circle, Pythagoras' Theorem and enlargement by asking students to consider what they can see when a torch is shone on a wall.
"A circle of light appears when you...
This lesson develops the concepts of:
- Finding perimeters, areas, and volumes using formulas.
- Finding relationships between perimeters, areas, and volumes of shapes after scaling.
There are three initial questions to consider that deal with:
- The perimeter of a circle...
This lesson develops the concepts of length and area. Particular attention is given to proving why two areas are or are not equal.
The lesson begins with three questions regarding area that students must classify as ‘sometimes, always, or never true’. An example is ‘if you join the midpoints of the opposite...
This lesson develops concepts relating to radicals. In particular, students will enhance their understanding of:
- Use the properties of exponents, including rational exponents and manipulate algebraic statements involving radicals.
- Discriminate between equations and identities.
In this...
This lesson develops the concept of reasoning about the properties of rational and irrational numbers. In particular, students will enhance their understanding of:
- Finding irrational and rational numbers to exemplify general statements.
- Reasoning with properties of rational and irrational...

The Nuffield Foundation provide this resource for students to collect data and then use statistical methods to analyse the results. The activities require that students investigate the extent to which people follow the advice from the Department of Health, which recommends that everyone eats at least five portions...
