This worksheet challenges students to plot a variety of graphs using data set within a design and technology context. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Data Handling. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

This resource contains 21 instant maths ideas designed to explore the properties of polygons. Practical activities include creating polygons by folding newspaper, exploring the number of triangles that can be drawn on a triangular dotted grid and creating, naming and classifying quadrilaterals. Students are asked...

This interactive excel file has a series of sheets showing nine different regular polygons. Each polygon can be rotated and also shown with or without the circumscribing circle. They can be shown with or without the radii.

The initial frame of the video shows a toy pony. As time progresses additional ponies are added to the scene. At the end, all of the ponies are taken away. The challenge is to graph the number of ponies in the frame against time. The resulting graph is one with discontinuities.
