Students investigate potential jobs and compare the wages. They then use a spreadsheet to calculate overtime rates of pay.

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

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

Wallpaper patterns all have one thing in common; they are all produced by repeating a single fundamental tile by translation, that one basic rule gives rise to a range of possible patterns, each with their distinctive...

Students are presented with a start number. The teacher then controls the speed at which the next instruction is revealed. Students are required to multiply, find percentages, round to the nearest ten… The final page reveals the total students should have reached. The questions contained are appropriate to the...

This resource from Cre8ate maths works with government statistics to raise issues related to waste recycling. It would work well as a cross curricular topic with science colleagues, so that students understand both the chemical and energy issues involved in waste disposal. Students are presented with a composite...

This brief activity uses false-colour images of the Columbia glacier to introduce the idea of using sequences of satellite images to monitor change and focuses on the selection of appropriate data for an investigation.

Using this resource from stats4schools, students investigate TV viewing habits by interpreting data and graphs, manipulating data to answer questions and draw conclusions.

The resource includes a lesson plan, datasheet, questions sheet and dataset.

In this activity, students take the role of data analysts of the World Water Resources Board (WWRB) a fictional organisation charged with providing financial aid to countries most in need of water. They will compare the availability of water in Algeria, Jordan and Turkey. Students will determine how to fairly...

In this activity students consider the questions:

• How can the purity of swimming water be tested?
• What exactly is the Blue Flag award?
• How reliable are the measurements and the criteria for the Blue Flag award?
• What is the status of the quality of fresh and salt water for swimming...

In this activity students consider the questions:

• What are the main sources that cause severe water shortage in Europe?
• How different harmful elements (e.g. fertilizers, gasoline, sulphuric acid) pollute freshwater?
• What methods / strategies can be used to save water?
• What methods...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore the volume of water that passes through aqueducts.

"...

This activity focuses on the link between water usage at home and the number of people living in their household, as well as comparing the water usage within the UK to that of other countries.

Students estimate how...

This activity focuses on the link between the UK’s current water usage and the predicted increase expected in the future. Looking at a water board website, students think about how the website is set up and the formulae that are being used. They then work in groups to...

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

Here, students use linear and quadratic functions to model water flow data and calculate percentage errors.

In this set of three activities, pupils will spend a day recording how much water a person uses in an average day, followed by an experimental activity where they will use ‘lunar ice cores’ and filter them to get water. Through these activities, pupils will learn how a filtration system can be used to separate...

Act 1

A video is shown of an octagonal water tank being...
