These activities cover bivariate data which includes regression and correlation.

[b]Least squares regression[/b] spreadsheet is designed to help students get a feel for drawing a line of best fit through a set of points and to begin to understand the concept of regression. Students are given a set of six...

This is a series of interactive excel sheets exploring linear regression.

The first sheet plots a scatter diagram and line of best fit for a small set of bivariate data. The mean and product moment correlation...

A resource aimed at the various GCSE Specifications for Computing. Activities are broken down into 14 stages and will require students to create a Relation Database...

It is often very helpful to reiterate vocabulary and definitions associated with database technology. This resource can be used as a starter or a plenary activity to reinforce key terminology.

From Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this practical activity was developed for Scottish Highers specifications, but the protocol can equally well be used for other specifications.

Students incubate...

This Core Maths task involves estimation and performing simple calculations based on volume, proportion and converting units (i.e. gallons and litres).

The short presentation introduces the task, which is to provide a...

Produced by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), these naked Scientist podcasts look at renewable energy and climate change in an accessible and informative way.

This report, from 2013, contains the findings of an expert panel commissioned by the Department for Education to report on Core Mathematics. The panel aimed to provide clear guidelines to inform the development of new Level 3 mathematics qualifications to be used by the Department for Education in deciding which...

The purpose of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Mapping Review, published by the Department for Education in 2004, was broadly to:

• investigate whether STEM initiatives currently being taken forward address the concerns raised about the decline in demand of university places in...

This resource, produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, helps students to understand how and why incidents must be reported. Not just to apportion blame, but to allow analysis of their causes. This prompts action to help prevent further accidents in the future. The materials ask students to use a...

The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) funds and produces research in areas of post-16 education and training in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). These resources are some of the reports, research and guidance that have been published. They include the areas of:

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. Sessions in this resource look at:

• Data collection and handling (using technology creatively and appropriately)

• Key features of charts graphs and diagrams (building on knowledge...

This is a problem solving lesson, intended to assess how well students are able to:

• Understand and calculate the conditional probability of an event A, given an event B
• Represent events as a subset of a sample space using tables, tree diagrams, and Venn diagrams

The problem is...

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

A repunit, which stands for repeated unit, is a number like 11, 111, or 1111 that contains only the digit 1 and extends to number bases other than base ten. This presentation challenges students to prove that any repunit...
