Probability is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. A fruit machine is used to provide a practical situation which allows students the opportunity to explore the likelihood of obtaining a winning line, while the work is structured to prompt class discussion and...

In this Bowland task, students are presented with the problem of finding how many circular pie tops and bottoms they can cut from a rectangular sheet of pastry. Students are given the diameter of the top and bottom of the pies, which are different, and the initial size of the sheet of pastry. There is an added...

This resource requires problem solving using skills to tackle a real-world problem that involves rates of change. In particular, it requires students to create, compare, and evaluate different representations of functions.

Students are given the average fuel consumption for three cars. Two people switch cars...

In this activity, students interpret graphs to identify trends and the people who are affected by this fuel poverty. Learning outcomes include:

*To understand that mathematics is used as a tool in a wide range of...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to the linked concepts of 'variable' and 'function', so that by recognising the independent variables in an experimental situation, they will be able to control the experiment in an...

This resource features a task that involves work on both quadratic and linear functions.

Eight points are shown on a coordinate grid. Students must identify four points belonging to the linear function, four points belonging to the quadratic function, and then in each case determine an equation that fits the...

This resource features five short tasks that involves work on using functions in a practical situations.

An example task involves modelling the number of helpers needed to prepare for a fete given different rates at which each can make varies sizes of cakes.

This task is from the Mathematics...

This resource looks at three areas of the physics curriculum where functions are used, creating an opportunity for cooperation between physics and mathematics teachers. This booklet serves as good preparation material for CPD work between departments.

Future Morph was a careers website, provided by the Science Council, designed to provide information for young people, their parents and teachers about the jobs available from studying science and maths. It aimed to show young people that studying science and maths post-16 could provide them with the skills and...

Future Morph Careers Quest was developed for students attending one of the the Big Bang science fairs. In the activity, students question exhibitors about aspects of their work and how they had chosen their particular career.

Whilst developed for an exhibition context, the resources can suggest questions for...

These resources provide careers-related contexts to support teaching of the science and mathematics subject curricula. The materials help students understand the relevance of science and mathematics to a wide range of career routes, many of which they do not necessarily associate with these subjects. The resources...

The challenges in this resource invite pupils to explore innovations within flight technology. Explore the role of AI and machine learning and communication in aviation, investigate the forces of flight, experiment with material science and dig into the changes happening that are making flight technology more...
