This mini-course from the Nuffield Exploratory Data Skills Project: Making Sense of Data considers how to choose appropriate techniques from the earlier mini-courses. As a result of this mini-course students should learn to:

• think about data as a set of records containing fields
• know that there are...

There are nine units, all at level four, in this book from the Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics series. Each unit provides information for the student to read and questions and activities for them to do.

The units, which are in short sections, have detailed content descriptions at the top of each...

The aim of each challenge is for students to complete each of the five tasks, recording their results on the answer sheet entitled “To open the padlock”. Students obtaining the correct ‘grand total’ have successfully completed the challenge.

The number padlock challenge contains five number challenges, one...

This resource, from Politeia, responds to the developments in the educational reform of mathematics, published in 2012. It contains a curriculum, drawn up by Professor David Burghes, Director of the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) at the University of Plymouth. Particular attention is paid to...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to assess how well students understand:

• Conditional probability
• Representing events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams

A game has been devised where three white balls and three black balls are placed...

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...

This document summarises the key features of the new qualification frameworks.

Pre-16 qualifications

Academic or general education qualifications are studied by most 14-16 year olds in the UK. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland they are GCSEs and in Scotland they are Scottish...

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of sequences, from finding the next two terms of a simple linear sequence to exploring the limits of sequences.

Sequences pack one contains thirteen...

This teaching resource is presented in four stages:

Stage One - Finding out about the problem. In stage one pupils find out more about spacesuits, how they work and why people need them to survive. They also find out more about the challenge to test a series of materials to...

In this activity, students are presented with the question: “Do speed cameras reduce road casualties – or not?”. The activity is set in the context of media reporting to explore ideas of randomness, probability and drawing conclusions from data. A secondary theme is the mathematical modelling of a real situation....

This pack of worksheets, produced by the Spode Group, is designed to give students experience in problem solving during the early years of secondary school, and was written in response to publications encouraging the teaching mathematics through problem solving,...

This Problem Solving with Industry module was devised by the Centre for Science Education in collaboration with Willis Carroon North Limited and South Yorkshire Police. In this module the problem is to choose the most appropriate electronically-controlled security...
