This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at the Earth and its atmosphere. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic...

The application of logarithms is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. The magnitude of an earthquake and its measurement on the Richter Scale is used to develop an understanding of logarithms. Students investigate details of events and learn that an earthquake of 4.7 is...

Easter is traditionally the time when the Easter bunny arrives with chocolate eggs and treats. This collection of resources highlight activities around the themes of...

Easter Day varies from year to year and in this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, students encounter the algorithm used to establish when it will occur. A series of tasks, designed to prompt class discussion and mathematical thinking, lead students to predict when Easter Day will...

This activity is based on determining the date of Easter Sunday using an algorithm known as "Ten Divisions to Easter". The activity can be extended by asking questions about the long-term trends in the data. 

Teachers' notes give a suggested approach to the...

This collection of resources from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) gives support materials for teachers in schools, helping to provoke debate and discussions and providing useful statistics about the UK population. The materials can be used to explore aspects of mathematics, psychology and health as...

In this STEMNET resource, maths teacher Ed Dyke describes a STEM project undertaken by his school in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, called Rocket Day. The project was funded by the York and North Yorkshire Business and Education Partnership (NYBEP). Also involved was STEM Ambassador Clive Bell, who has worked for the...
