This Core Maths task consists of a presentation that explains and reviews the distinctions between different types of data. It explains the difference between the following categories of data:

• qualitative and quantitative
• discrete and continuous
• primary and secondary

The yearbooks of the UK Mathematics Trust contain an account of UKMT activities for each year and also contain all question paper, solutions and results.

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

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate environmental issues in the context of the design and operation of a new school. Students are required to apply their mathematical understanding of formulae and...

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 activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), challenges students to calculate the dimensions of an underground tunnel system. Students are encouraged to move beyond an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ approach to sewage as they use and develop...

This Teachers TV video looks back at the Key Stage One mathematics lesson taught by Anne Farrell, featured in the video Just Division. Headteacher Iain George and Mathematics Consultant Richard Dunne meet with Anne to discuss her teaching practices, comparing her methods with those of teachers in two Birmingham...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the terms: mean, median, mode, range and explore the relationships between these measures and their relationship to the shape of a distribution. Students will have met the terms mean, median, mode and range but they may not have a clear understanding...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the difference between perimeter and area. Students get practice in calculating the areas and the perimeters of rectangular shapes. Students may have had some previous experience of calculating perimeter and area. (GCSE Grades D - G)

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students learn to interpret numerical expressions using words and area representations, recognise the order of operations and equivalent expressions and understand the distributive laws of multiplication and division
over addition (the expansion of brackets). Most...

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...
