This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This ‘Refurbishing a room’ resource is an...

These activities cover bivariate data which includes regression and correlation.

[b]Least squares regression[/b] spreadsheet is designed to help students get a feel for drawing a line of best fit through a set of points and to begin to understand the concept of regression. Students are given a set of six...

This resource from CensusAtSchool uses the ideas of estimating probabilities through finding the relative frequency of given data about favourite subjects at school. It uses sampling from different populations and investigates the effect of sample size on the estimated probability.

This collection from The Royal Statistical Society Centre for Statistical Education (RSSCSE) has been written to help make statistics lessons more relevant and engaging to teachers and students.

Having run the well known CensusAtSchool Project for the last eight years the RSSCSE are well aware of the impact...

Telemedicine is a new and fast developing field in healthcare. Even 20 years ago the idea of a surgeon being able to operate a robot from hundreds of miles away in order to perform an operation seemed like science fiction. Today, this is not only possible but engineers, working with scientists and doctors, are now...

This Core Maths task involves estimation and performing simple calculations based on volume, proportion and converting units (i.e. gallons and litres).

The short presentation introduces the task, which is to provide a...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, asks students to read and interpret repeating wave pattern graphs.

"Engineers sometimes have to analyse data which shows a repeating pattern. Plotting a graph of the data is often helpful as it...

The purpose of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Mapping Review, published by the Department for Education in 2004, was broadly to:

• investigate whether STEM initiatives currently being taken forward address the concerns raised about the decline in demand of university places in...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students interpret 2D representations of 3D shapes, analyse 3D shapes using plans, elevations, and isometric drawings and develop their reasoning ability in spatial contexts. Many students may have met these ideas before, but they may still experience difficulties in...

This lesson develops the concept of visualising two-dimensional cross-sections of representations of 3-dimensional objects.

The lesson begins by considering two cylindrical containers placed so that they make a right angle. Water flows from one cylinder to the other. Students consider the top view of the...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. Sessions in this resource look at:

• Data collection and handling (using technology creatively and appropriately)

• Key features of charts graphs and diagrams (building on knowledge...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to assess how well students understand:

• Conditional probability
• Representing events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams

A game has been devised where three white balls and three black balls are placed...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to assess how well students understand:

• When conditional probabilities are equal for particular situations
• Representing events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams
• Modelling using algebra

 ...

This is a concept development lesson on interpreting data using frequency graph and box plots.

Eight frequency graphs are presented that show scores in tests. The frequency graphs must be matched with box plots.

There are pre-lesson and post-lesson formative assessment tasks. Detailed teacher notes...
