This collection of interactive excel sheets investigate volumes of revolution by integration.

The first sheet plots the function y= ax^2...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

WORLDbytes is a unique online Citizen TV channel set up and run by the education charity WORLDwrite. Dedicated to advancing new knowledge, skills and ideas, the charity promotes excellence in citizen reporting and provides free training to volunteer-learners which combines practical film making with tackling...

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...

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.

Due to problems in the manufacture of tinplate coils, the edge of the strip can be slightly longer than the centre. This causes a 'wave' on the wall of the coil but can be rectified by differentially stretching the strip to make the edges flat. Students are required to apply Pythagoras' theorem to find the radius...

In this book, the author discusses how algorithms, big data and mathematical models are being increasingly used to make decisions which affect our lives.

In this resource students are given an image of a reciprocal curve, y=k/x. Two tangents to the curve are used, together with the coordinate axes, to form an 'arrow head' quadrilateral under the curve. The challenge is to determine the area of the quadrilateral.

The first step towards solving the problem...

In this section you will be able to explore: * The challenges and issues faced in post-16 mathematics education. *The research underpinning the approaches adopted by the Standards Unit to meet the challenges. *The experiences of the teachers and trainers in the pilot.

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

This presentation provides students with an opportunity to explore their own grasp of logic and introduces a logical tautology called Modus Tollens.

This activity is designed to explore aspects of the subject which...

In this task students are required to estimate dimensions and use given densities to calculate an estimate for the mass of a number of objects. Calculators and/or spreadsheets are recommended when substituting into the formulae for the volume and mass of the solids.

The teachers' notes give a suggested...

Written for beginners and scholars, for students and teachers, for philosophers and engineers, What is Mathematics?, Second Edition is a...

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

Students solve differential equations to find functions to model the value of a car in terms of its age. Then they compare their results with real data.
