Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

A geodesic is the shortest distance between two points and here two problems involving cuboids and cylinders are investigated.

The resource is designed to explore aspects of the subject which may not normally be...

This unit looks at 'geoengineering', which is the implementation of large-scale interventions into the Earth's climate to reduce the impact of climate change. This includes the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or reflection of solar...

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...

Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine. The Earth's climate is changing ever faster, and human activities play a role in speeding up this change.

The Earth’s climate is changing. In fact, it has always been...

This toolkit investigates the complexities of measuring health and well-being. Students can use the Health Index tool and access the raw data that is used to calculate it. This will allow them to analyse and interpret health and well-being trends and patterns within a local area or across different regions.

This field study provides the opportunity for students to use ecological survey techniques and conduct investigations to understand how the environmental (abiotic) conditions in a habitat can affect the presence and distribution of organisms. The resource provides a practical investigation of the relationship...

The main aim of this resource is for students to understand some of the conflicts surrounding land use in the UK – particularly the conflicts between economic incentives, society, and environmental conservation. The resource also provides a practical introduction to the complexities of managing habitats, with a...

The main aim of this resource is for students to understand the impact that roads can have on heathland habitats, both in terms of anthropogenic nitrogen pollution and habitat fragmentation.

The resource provides practical, scientific investigations without the need to organise a field trip. The...

This presentation, from Paul Curzon at QMUL, uses a folded paper geometric shape called a hexahexaflexagon to teach about abstraction, data representation and graph data structures, while encouraging computational thinking. A video (linked from within the presentation) shows how to make one of the geometrical...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This presentation demonstrates how the interesting idea of Hikorski triples was developed from writing a GCSE Equations worksheet in 2002. The triples are identified as (p, q, pq+1/p+q).

The activity is designed to...

This Core Maths resource is a precursor to the linked tasks of Due dates, Baby boom and Chicken and egg, on the Normal distribution....

This activity from the Nuffield Foundation introduces the use of moving averages and weighted moving averages to smooth out seasonal fluctuations in UK house prices, enabling the yearly trend to be identified. The data provided is adapted from The Halifax House Price Index spreadsheet and although the arithmetic...

The coordinates of two points on a line are given. The task is to find the shortest distance from the line of a third given point. The task involves finding the equation of...

This presentation, using stills from the animation about the action of IAA, is produced without any text making it useful for teaching and revision.
