This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of transportation planner, and STEM Ambassador, Dan Cornelius.

Dan's role is to assess road schemes and their impacts on local and regional areas. He develops graphic models of the situation and location. This allows him to manipulate elements, such...

This interactive excel program covers distance/time and velocity/time graphs.

The first interactive sheet shows a distance/time graph made of line segments and some questions relating to speed for each segment and the...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of trigonometry, often used in the field of engineering. They include the trigonometric ratios, using Pythagoras’ theorem and working with the sine and cosine rules.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for each resource are provided, together...

This poster illustrates how expertise from designers, engineers and technologists is used to design and manufacture an innovative snowboard. It helps to illustrate how STEM industries offer many exciting career opportunities.

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...

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 resource is a collection of statements from over 40 universities and higher education groups in support of Core Maths. University...

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematicians' understanding of knots can help unravel potentially fatal knots in DNA molecules. Understanding how to manipulate tangles of DNA could help us create new treatments for diseases, so...

In this resource students are provided with a table showing the efficiency of various factors in warming up or cooling down the neighbourhoods of three urban areas. Students are required to interpret the data,  manipulate the data and calculate averages. The data then has to be represented graphically. A number of...

[b]Functions and their derivatives:[/b] the objective of this activity is to develop skills in working with functions, their derivatives and function notation. The suggested activity begins by asking students to explain what is meant by f'(3) and what is the difference between f(2) and f'(2). There follows a...

This collection of Level 1 resources from Nuffield Mathematics covers Using data. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Foundation Level GCSE and Level 1 Functional Mathematics. 

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit students are introduced to fractional and negative indices to enable them to evaluate numerical expressions using negative and fractional
indices and use the rules of indices with integer and fractional powers of variables. Students should have some knowledge of...
