This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within a civil engineering environment. Here students apply standard deflection formulae to solve some typical beam deflection design problems. These formulae form the basis of the calculations that would be undertaken...
In this resource students are asked to play the role of a newly qualified engineering graduate that has taken a year out to work for an overseas aid agency in a developing country.
The civil engineering project you are working on aims to provide water to a number of rural villages where clean water for...
This report, published by LSIS, describes an action research project by Leeds College of Building. The practical construction of the roof involves using a roofing square. It was identified that staff required professional development on how the trigonometric information on the square has been derived and relates to...
In this activity students use the spreadsheet to simulate the generation of two normal distributions, each with different means and standard deviations. The spreadsheet models what happens when the two distributions are added together in order to explore whether the result is also normally distributed.
This...
In this activity students are set the challenge of finding missing values such that the mean and variance of a Poisson distribution, a Binomial distribution and a normal distribution makes sense. The solution sheet contains three possible solutions.
This resource is part of the Making Stats Vital collection...
In this activity, students are posed the problem of how a coffee machine should be adjusted to meet certain criteria by either adjusting the mean value of the coffee produced or adjusting the standard deviation. The presentation ends showing the solution to the problem.

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.
In this activity the equations of the lines, which are formed at the points of intersection of three circles, are explored and an Autograph file is used to show what happens when the equations of the circles are added...
The workbook contains a number of simulations designed to aid students understanding of the Poisson distribution.
[b]Queuing simulation:[/b] is designed to introduce the Poisson distribution through a realistic application, that of simulating a supermarket checkout queue. Students choose the number of people...
In this resource, students consider whether two Poisson distributions can be added together to form a third Poisson distribution. The initial, discussion generating proposition is backed up by a proof. The resource also contains an accompanying spreadsheet on which students can run simulations to test the result....
In this resource, students are asked to consider data set in which the value of the mean is very close to the value of the variance. The aim of the resource is for students to understand that whilst mean being equal to variance indicates that the distribution may be a Poisson distribution that this not true in all...
This resource comprises a spreadsheet which models raindrops falling onto paving slabs. As the variables are adjusted associated graphs display both the experimental and theoretical results. The resource is designed to encourage discussion of how a binomial distribution can be approximated by a Poisson distribution...
In this activity, students are presented with a case in which the calculate probability is calculated using the Binomial and then the Poisson distribution. Each method produces results close to each other. Students are set the task of finding the value for n used. Subsequent slides reveal the solution.
This...
In this resource students deal with an optimisation problem involving perimeter and area based on a Greek mythological story about a princess. She wants to maximise the area contained in a given perimeter and decides on a circle. The concept of the Isoperimetric...
Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.
This presentation challenges students to use the rules they have been given to develop a logical system and deduce theorems which prove that the system is complete and consistent and introduces the idea of truth tables to...
The Royal Academy of Engineering oversees a number of projects to enhance and enrich the teaching of engineering. This collection contains case studies and details of activities which can be used to encourage pupils to take part in engineering study.
The collection includes:
- Engineering at the...
