In this Core Maths activity students explore APR, the interest charged when we borrow money, and how to calculate it for both a whole number and a fractional number of years. The resource also explores reasons why people want to borrow money.

A link is included to the Nuffield Foundation personal finance...

A segment of a circle is created using a chord parallel to the x-axis. The resulting segment of the circle is then revolved 360° about the x-axis. The problem is to calculate the volume of the resulting annulus.

To find a general solution to the problem involves using an elemental disc ring and integrating...

This resource from the Nuffield Foundation allows students to investigate relationships between anthropometric variables and write a report on their findings, which may include the use of scatter diagrams, lines of best fit, regression lines, and correlation coefficients. The spreadsheet contains anthropometric...

In this Core Maths task, based on a resource developed by the Nuffield Foundation, students are given a large dataset of children’s and young adults’ anthropometric data to use to investigate whether particular sets of data are related. The students are asked to present their findings in the form of a report/...

The project involved members of staff from the STEM subjects at the Kingswinford School working collaboratively to plan and deliver sessions to a group of Year Nine students. These sessions were held after school for an hour each week during the summer and autumn terms...

This set of ten video case studies, from around 2010, illustrate a range of technician roles that use science and mathematics. The examples feature young college students and apprentices who talk about their area of study or work and who have a clear career route in mind. 

The case studies cover:

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these video clips look at how active learning approaches can be taken to the teaching and learning of mathematics with post-16 students. Clips look at: * How the interaction between learners and their peers can enhance their own understanding of new...

This toolkit, from the Plus magazine's collaboration with Arctic Survey Education, explores the navigational aspects of the expedition, including questions surrounding cartography and Global Positioning (GPS) systems. The toolkit can be download as a whole or as individual components. The individual components are...

Two parabolas are shown, one with a positive quadratic coefficient, the other with a negative quadratic coefficient. Each has the same linear coefficient and between the...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of arithmetic. They include fractions and their associated arithmetic, geometric progressions, percentages, ratios and powers and roots.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for each resource are provided, together with relevant diagrams and...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of arithmetic, many of which are suitable for students studying mathematics at Higher Level GCSE, or A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include, decimals, fractions,...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of arithmetic, often used in the field of engineering. They include fractions and their associated arithmetic, calculations involving surds, using standard form, as well as understanding and drawing the graph of a function.

Comprehensive notes, with...

This series of interactive excel sheets look at arithmetic series and progressions.

The first sheet gives examples of arithmetic sequences, of which the value of a further term in the sequence, the first term and the...
