Elasticity
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity shows how changing the price of a product changes the demand so putting the price up can reduce income. Modelling helps decision making. The mathematical ideas covered are:
• Percentage...
Factorising Cubics and Quartics Powerpoints
These PowerPoint presentations from MEI demonstrate a variety of methods which can be used to factorise polynomials. The techniques include factorising cubics and quartics by inspection; using a table and algebraic long division.
Gas Compression and Expansion
This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can you calculate the energy used, or made available, when the volume of a gas is changed? A bicycle pump, a refrigerator and the internal combustion engine change the...
Geography - Hydraulic Radius
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that the efficiency of a river can be measured using the hydraulic radius; this depends on the cross-sectional area of the river and the wetted perimeter of the...
Handling Data
MEI GCSE Extension materials for handling data (statistics). Tasks are available on the mean from a frequency table, interquartile range and tree diagrams.
The materials are aimed at students who are working towards...
Heat Loss from Buildings
This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can the most efficient design be determined, taking both building and running costs into account?
The introduction considers the thermal conductivity of different...
Inflation
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students shows how regular sampling of a variety of prices is used to get a measure of inflation. There is more than one possible way to do this. A measure of inflation is used to...
