This RISP, Almost Identical, is an activity designed to consolidate work on hyperbolics, exponentials...

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics when building an underground storage tank, with an elliptical cross section. Health and safety requirements apply and the depth to which the tank must be buried is established using the 2D geometry of an ellipse,...

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the field of mechanical engineering and explores the design and construction of wheels, to be used to challenge a land speed record. These principles also apply in engines and gear-boxes, which are typically full...

This resource, provided by Mathematics in Education and Industry, offers an overview of pre-university qualifications and describes major developments in mathematics.

Since there are a considerable number of pre-higher education qualifications in mathematics available in the United Kingdom, it is not always...

This resource is a collection of statements from over 40 universities and higher education groups in support of Core Maths. University...

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematicians' understanding of knots can help unravel potentially fatal knots in DNA molecules. Understanding how to manipulate tangles of DNA could help us create new treatments for diseases, so...

In this resource students are provided with a table showing the efficiency of various factors in warming up or cooling down the neighbourhoods of three urban areas. Students are required to interpret the data,  manipulate the data and calculate averages. The data then has to be represented graphically. A number of...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students calculate binomial probabilities and cumulative binomial probabilities. They develop their understanding of the context in which it is appropriate to use binomial probabilities, the symmetrical nature of the formula for a binomial probability and alternative...

[b]Functions and their derivatives:[/b] the objective of this activity is to develop skills in working with functions, their derivatives and function notation. The suggested activity begins by asking students to explain what is meant by f'(3) and what is the difference between f(2) and f'(2). There follows a...
