From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students shows that correlation can be used to measure the strength of a linear relationship.

Statistical Inference looks for evidence of what is happening in the population by...

The questions in this framework can help governing bodies identify areas to celebrate or challenge in their schools, enabling them to work with their senior leaders to drive improvement. This framework aims to enable governors to perform at their best, exemplifying an approach which could benefit all curriculum...

This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can production outcome data from a manufacturing process be analysed to optimise the process? Students consider the outputs of resistors to see the outcomes form a normal...

This collection of mathematics worksheets from SMILE is an interactive resource with 188 worksheets which can be viewed in groups sorted by topic and National Curriculum level or by SMILE number. Many of these worksheets are enhanced versions of the original SMILE cards. The mathematics is generally suitable for...

MEI GCSE Extension materials for shape, space and measure. Tasks are available on trigonometry, circles, Pythagoras’ theorem, loci, and vectors.

The materials are aimed at students who are working towards GCSE...

This book from the Schools Council addresses the topic of functions. The contents of the book are intended primarily for teachers, for whom, it was believed, it would provide a valuable background which would deepen their understanding of mathematics and give them insight into mathematical thinking. Teachers will...

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics when designing and developing engines. As well as considering the power requirements for a given application, the vibration of the system should be considered. The engine installation in a machine must ensure that the...

In this activity, students explore how to use the sun to tell the time and employ a range of mathematical skills to understand the theory and to construct a sundial for themselves. The case study is contextualised through a video about sundials and an interview given by a gnomonist who explains how mathematics is...

Produced in 2011 by the Learning Skills Improvement Service, these materials help to demonstrate effective practice. From Leicester College this case study looks at the theme of equality and diversity. For many ESOL learners (speakers of other languages), achievement in mathematics and numeracy is impeded by...

This booklet from the National Strategies describes teaching approaches that can be used to develop mental mathematics abilities beyond National Curriculum level five. The activities described in this supplement build upon and develop activities suggested in Teaching mental mathematics from level five: geometry....
