Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) has the goal of helping countries make informed decisions about how to improve teaching and learning in mathematics and science. This report summarizes the results of the TIMSS 2011 international mathematics assessment of fourth and eighth grade students...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand tessellation, area, and patterns.

A square table top is to be tiled using three types of tile:

• Square
• Half a square (cut along the diagonal)
• Quarter of a square (half of a ‘half’ tile)

A design is shown...

Many young people are highly engaged with the topic of ‘the environment’, particularly – as they get older – that of climate change. However, they tend to hear more about the causes and impacts of climate change and less about the solutions to climate change. Young people can also suffer from ‘eco-anxiety’ and this...

Scientists at the University of Oxford are investigating the link between sporting activity in young people and the development of osteoarthritis. In very active people, bony lesions can form on the hip joint (FAI) which increases their risk of developing the condition...

A two-part activity that starts with a group discussion about the factors that need to be considered when an aircraft takes off and lands. The second activity challenges student to design and make a model aeroplane and a mechanism or system for launching it.

In this activity students investigate the rate of dissolution of different tablets in water and dilute hydrochloric acid (stomach strength, pH 2). They  then record and interpret their observations by answering questions.

A Mathematics Matters case study which looks at how advances in statistics allow us to analyse risks and consequences and so make informed decisions. Risks are an unavoidable part of modern life, but mathematicians and statisticians have developed a variety of methods to help mitigate its effects. These techniques...

This resource from the Department for Education is designed to use and apply the uncertain and difficult nature of probability calculations in the real world through the work of an actuarial trainee. Students are provided with data on sea piracy, and use this to calculate the annual cost of piracy to the shipping...
