From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity shows how compound interest can be calculated over different intervals. As the intervals get smaller and smaller, the total value approaches a limit. Topic areas covered are:
• Use of...

Scientists at The University of Oxford are working on methods of using quantum dots to produce a stream of identical single photons with the hope of using this to provide un-hackable data protection, quantum computers and powerful microscopes. This activity is suitable as a follow-on lesson after...

Have you ever wondered about the earth’s wild and wonderful weather? Think you have what it takes to build an earthquake-proof house or survive in an extreme environment?

In this programme, pupils will make models to help them understand how weather and extreme events occur, and what their impact can be....

The first interactive sheet shows a calculator for Simple Interest where the amount invested, the rate of interest and the term can be altered. The next sheet shows sets of five questions on Simple Interest to be answered with the help of calculators. Answers can be...

Students use algebraic and spreadsheet formulae in Excel to calculate simple and compound interest.

This resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

This Core Maths activity introduces the concept of simple and compound interest and its effect on the amount by which an investment grows over time. To complete the activity students will use an Excel spreadsheet to calculate and compare the interest amounts accrued.

A link is included within the teacher...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support the teaching of the following concepts:

• The properties of elements and compounds arise from the structural arrangement of their constituent atoms.

• The representation of substances (elements,...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the unit called ‘Particles’ and was intended to lead to an understanding of the ways in which some properties of materials can be explained in terms of the type and arrangement of their atomic and molecular...

This  activity sheet builds on students knowledge of radiation in the context of medical applications.  It introduces a company called Kromek, a company that designs and makes radiation detectors for the medical, nuclear and security sectors.

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book is an account of concepts related to oxidation and reduction,.

There are three parts to this book:
