In this resource students are asked to plot graphs of real data to compare the straight-line distances between towns with the distance by road.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

Siemens have created a number of high-quality engaging online interactive games and activities for pupils of all ages covering many aspects of the STEM curriculum.  Topics range from cybersecurity to carbon emissions; programming to dressing a site worker in appropriate personal protective clothing. Many of the...

This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

Students use algebraic and spreadsheet formulae in Excel to calculate simple and compound interest.

This resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

This contains two excel programs with interactive spreadsheets designed to show the graphical solution to pairs of simultaneous equations and provide their solutions.

...

This file provides practice at solving pairs of simultaneous equations where at least one is not linear. The pairs of graphs and the coordinates of the points of intersection can be revealed.

The first sheet deals...

This report, published by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) in 2008, is based on a survey of ABPI and UK BioIndustry Association (BIA) member companies to review the position three years on from a previous report called Sustaining the Skills Pipeline in the Pharmaceutical and...

This Mathematics Matters case study, produced by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how industry relies on cutting-edge mathematics to develop better quality communications. The amount of information we can transmit though the air is limited by the laws of physics, but the mathematics of...

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

This resource gives students the opportunity to practice in using logarithmic graphs to check that a power law is a good model for data and find the associated...

Stuart is a software engineer with IBM, he discusses his role in this video. The role involves writing code to test new software developing new software. An avid sport fan, having grown up in the north east, he enjoyed studying maths, physics and IT at school and continued to university to pursue software...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at the Sun-Earth system. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 16 years.

The problems were created to be authentic glimpses of...

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.

In this activity the friction...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Solving simple equations (encouraging reasoning rather than 'answer getting')
• Rearranging simple equations (encouraging reasoning...
