In this activity students are required to write money values as a decimal, represent this value in a grid showing the place value of each digit and then write the value in words.

More Maths Grads was a three-year project funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England to develop, trial and evaluate means of increasing the number of students studying mathematics and encouraging participation from groups of learners who have not traditionally been well represented in higher...

Produced by More Maths Grads, these bright posters are intended for use in schools to illustrate the range of opportunities that mathematics can open. These include the aerospace industry, architecture, navigation technologies, biological sciences, music and sport.

Based on information and guides provided by the Department of Transport, this Cre8ate maths activity introduces the cost benefits of improving the aerodynamics of the cab section of a truck. Mathematical connections involve using calculators and spreadsheets to work on conversions and percentages in the context of...

This Core Maths task involves the analysis of mortgage repayments and requires the calculation of percentages and the use of a spreadsheet.

A help sheet is included in the materials for students who are not confident with spreadsheets.

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore information generated from a motor race.

"Modern data analysis techniques can be used to provide ongoing performance analysis of the vehicles in a motor race. However, even...

This task requires students to find dates of birth where the square of the year (the last two digits) gives the day and the month, e.g. 26/01/51, because 51² = 2601.

Students then need to use Fermi estimates to calculate how many people might have been born on these...

A series of eight simultaneous equations are given and the initial challenge is to discover the single point of intersection of the lines. On each of the examples given the intersection takes as...
