Curve stitching is a creative, practical activity with a strong mathematical background. This title explains the technique accompanied by large colour photographs of beautiful designs, with "stich-by-stitch" sewing...

Curved Fold

This resource, from the Royal Institution, provides students with the opportunity to explore the formation of a parabola through a paper folding activity. Students follow a set of simple instructions which describe how to fold a piece of A4 paper and are asked to describe what shape is produced. The activity is...

Curved light

In this activity students investigate the mystery of a light beam which seems to bend.  Students can investigate:

• Qualitative behaviour of light  when the medium in which it propagates changes its refraction index. 
• Quantitative evaluation of the behaviour of light in refraction by means of...

This book offers some simple ways of drawing curves and studying their properties. It also looks at what happens when changes are made to the construction rules.

Curves of Constant Width

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

This presentation introduces the Reuleaux Triangle and shows how to construct a curve which has a constant width, as well as Barbier's Theorem and the Isoperimetric Inequality. Three dimensional shapes are also investigated...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Cut out cells

In this activity, students draw and cut out scaled pictures of different cell types, comparing these to the size of a salt crystal.
