This Core Maths task requires students to investigate the number of steps and various dimensions of escalators.

Students can measure width and length of stairs in their own school/college and compare them to their estimate of escalator steps. It may be appropriate to make use of Pythagoras' Theorem in the...

The development of techniques used by code-breakers at Bletchley Park Breaking during World War II is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovations in Mathematics Teaching. New branches of statistical analysis and the development of the electronic computer emerged from this work and here students...

In this task, students are required to decide whether a lottery is a good way to raise money. Tickets with the numbers 1 to 6 printed on are sold for £1 each. Each player crosses two of the six numbers. At the end of the week, two numbers are chosen. Anyone who has crossed the same two numbers as the winning...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at Lunar exploration. 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 glimpses of...
