This report, commissioned by the Nuffield Foundation, addresses two questions: • What is the range and type of research evidence from countries with high performance in mathematics that gives insights into the reasons for their relatively high position? • What constitutes high performance in mathematics learning...

This STEM Learning resource collection aims to support STEM Ambassadors to highlight the top 10 employability skills to young people, with examples of activities and discussions to support young people to develop these skills in either school, college or other settings.  

A podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The Food Standards Agency advises everyone to eat at least two portions of fish a week, one of which should be oily, because it is good for us.

Unfortunately our appetite for fish and other seafood has...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of vectors, often used in the field of engineering. They include descriptions of the notation often used to describe vectors and how to calculate the modulus of vector given in cartesian form, as well as how to calculate scaler and vector products.

Odd One Out, provided by RISPs, helps students focus on mathematical properties to determine which of three numbers or expressions is the odd one out.

For example, given the triplet 2, 3, 9:
2 could be the odd...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This resource explores...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of vectors and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include an introduction to vectors, calculating the vector and scalar...

The first two sheets use maps of New York to show how vectors can be used to specify journeys. Answers in terms of a and b can be revealed.

The third sheet shows that the vectors a and b used to describe relative...

This interactive resource, produced by the University of Leicester, is designed to enable students to explore vectors, beginning with the definition of a vector followed by the algebra of vectors and the scalar product. The opening slides of the presentation explain the difference between scalar and vector...

This edition of Vegetable Oils and Detergents was a revised edition, published in 1973, of the original educational booklet. The book concentrated on the production and commercial extraction of fats and oils, the basic raw materials for two of Unilever's most important industries - margarine manufacture and soap-...

This series of interactive excel sheets explore calculating the probability of events from Venn diagrams. Another resource exploring the use of Venn ...

From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this wall chart describes the space mission to Venus, the UK experiments aboard, and the extreme conditions on the surface of Venus. In addition to mission details, the resource describes properties of Venus and the conditions found on the surface of the...

A Catalyst article about the European Space Agency (ESA) which has sent the Venus Express spacecraft to explore Earth's cloudy neighbour. The purpose of the project, which is primarily to gather information about the atmosphere around Venus, is explained and is put into context with concerns about climate change on...
