Gloria Huijung Chu, a research fellow at the Korean Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training, explains why mathematics skills are so important for students.

In this video Dr Sue Pope- Associate Head of Department at Manchester Metropolitan University- discusses how around 70% of university degrees require some level of mathematics, and how a Core Maths can help students meet these requirements.

Diane Dalby- Senior Research Fellow at the School of Educations, University of Nottingham- discussed how Core Maths can help to change attitudes towards mathematics in post-16 students.

In this video Kevin Gilmartin – Colleges Specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders- shares his perspective on Core Maths.

In this video Sue Hough- Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University- discusses how Core Maths can help students to think about real-life problems and how this can develop their mathematics skills.

Two videos on digital technology for Core Maths by Douglas Bulter. The first video summarises a task group report on technology and the second looks at ‘Finding data from interesting sources’.

This Catalyst article looks at how scientists can use material recovered from archaeological sites to see how crops have been introduced to different countries over the history of farming. Three processes by which some plant material can be preserved are explained. The ratio of carbon isotopes from the collagen in...

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 describes applications of chemistry to solve practical problems.

There are three parts to this book:
*Part 1: What is...

Produced by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), Cosmic Rays is a colour A5 leaflet that opens out into an A2 double-sided wallchart describing cosmic rays and where they come from, what effect they have on Earth and how they are used in scientific applications. Sections of the leaflet cover: *The...

This book on cosmology, from the Royal Astronomical Society, provides a good primer for those teaching A-level physics courses or GCSE Astronomy.

The resource begins by introducing the history of measurements in...

This activity  from Plotr uses the game of bingo as a way of  getting students to  think creatively about the range of careers available in STEM sectors, particularly careers in construction and engineering.

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Algebra. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

In the ‘Coughs and sneezes’ resource students have to use polynomial and trigonometric functions to model the number of people suffering from a cold over several weeks...

This Catalyst article looks at how tomato plants have been genetically modified so that they produce high levels of substances thought to reduce the risk of diseases including cancer and heart disease.
