Maths Magic
Maths Magic’s aim is to make mathematics more appealing and enjoyable for students and to open up new opportunities for them in STEM subjects and careers. This collection consists of twelve teaching ideas covering a variety of subject areas - number, algebra, space and shape, handling data, mechanics and physics.
Maths Magic was a STEM project funded by The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) to help widening participation in Higher Education. The HEFCE distributed public money for teaching and research to universities and colleges. It closed on 1 April 2018 and was replaced by UKRI and Office for Students.

F=ma in a Lift
This activity is produced by the Maths Magic project. F=ma in a Lift provides examples and ideas for A-level mathematics and physics students investigating what happens when they are being weighed in a lift and to have a discussion about mass and weight and the difference between the two quantities. Ideally...
Properties of a Particle
This activity is produced by the Maths Magic project. Properties of a Particle provides examples and ideas for A-level mathematics and physics students investigating the properties ascribed to particles. Students discuss why these properties are needed and ask are they realistic? Activities include analysing the...
Probability – Does It Clarify or Confuse?
This activity is produced by the Maths Magic project. Probability – Does It Clarify or Confuse? provides examples and ideas for discussing situations where probability helps in decision making, and situations where the mathematics of probability is counter intuitive. This activity allows learners to interrogate...
