This mini-course from the Nuffield Exploratory Data Skills Project: Making Sense of Data considers how to choose appropriate techniques from the earlier mini-courses. As a result of this mini-course students should learn to:

• think about data as a set of records containing fields
• know that there are...

In this resource from Cre8ate maths, students critically compare nutritional measures and calculate their daily energy requirements. Initially students fill in the worksheet Can we eat what we like, to prompt a whole class discussion about the consequences of a bad diet. They then use the Sugar, salt and fat...

The aim of a minimum spanning tree is to connect every vertex of the network using the edges having the least possible total weight. The task requires students to analyse information about a town centre and suggest which roads should be pedestrianized. [

Minimum spanning tree: presentation...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Algebra. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

This resource asks students to use graphical methods to solve maximum and minimum problems in industry and in working life, using a spreadsheet or graphic calculator...

A fact sheet from the Geological Society that explores different types of mining and processing techniques for extracting minerals from the Earth. The leaflet also touches on some of the ethical and environmental issues involved in mining. 

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. The module begins with a survey of minerals world wide and their constituent elements. This provides opportunities for practice with symbols, formulae and equations. A practical simulation of geological...

This resource contains six activities.

[b]Find[/b]: Contains twenty five questions requiring students to use number properties to find numbers which fit the required criteria. An example is: find three consecutive numbers which when multiplied together make 2184.

[b]Converting Units[/b]: Requires...

From the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these circuits allow students to build a range of devices. Each circuit has a full circuit diagram, component list and explanation of how the circuit works. In this section, the circuits cover a range of miscellaneous...

This resource contains five activities in which students are presented with a situation in which a digit, a number or an operator is missing. Students are required to complete the calculation.

Missing Digits 1: Students are presented with a series of two digit column additions and...

In this DIY Faraday Challenge, students are asked to work in teams to design and construct the rocket which will transport supplies via Earth orbit to the astronauts on Mars. They are also required to build a system to transport the rocket to the...
