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

This activity explores an example of the Descent method. This method was popularised by the famous mathematician Pierre de Fermat...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand maximising a volume.

The task looks at designs for freight containers made using metal frames. For the first task, 60 metres of metal tubing is available and students must design a container in the shape of a cuboid that maximises the volume of the...

Produced by Solar Spark, this activity shows how two metal plates and a person, can make a battery (cell). This helps to demonstrate how a solar photovoltaic cell works.

A solar cell has two electrodes. These have to be connected up to make a circle which we call an electrical circuit. One side is connected...

This resource from Defence Dynamics helps students to gain a better understanding of homeostasis and, in particular, the regulation of body temperature (thermoregulation). Students consider the needs of a polar explorer on a mission to the South Pole, thinking about the equipment needed as well as the challenges...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand using approximations for temperature conversions, and assessing their accuracy.

The following methods are given for converting from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit:

Method 1: multiply the Celsius...

In this activity students carry out an investigation to find out how the concentration of nitrate in the soil affects the growth of root nodules on peas. This A level practical will help students to develop skills in following a method, collaborating to gather results and writing an analysis and conclusion...

This optimisation problem is an ideal opportunity to use the real-world context of logistics as an application of first fit algorthims.

In this activity students have to allocate a number of different jobs to different employees within certain constraints. As part of the task students are introduced to first...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students analyse simple number 'tricks', and explain how they work, using algebra. They then try to create their own variants of the trick, making it more impressive. Students will: develop an understanding of linear expressions and equations; make simple conjectures...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Probability of one amount covers an introduction to probability, calculating the probability of a single event, relative frequency, complimentary events, estimating the number of...

The Overhead projection originals were prepared to support the teaching of Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry. During the revision, the data on the originals was made consistent with the revised Book of Data, an extensive range of infra-red spectra was included, and there are new diagrams relating to structures...
