Head STEAM, produced by TV and online production company 360Production, is an educational channel that aims to inspire students to become a future leader of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) industries. The short videos explore a variety of STEAM topics such as sound waves and frequencies, 3D...

In this resource the head of a circular snowman rolls around its circular body to make one trip back to where it started. The ratio of the diameters of the circles is given. The challenge is to find how many times the head will revolve throughout the journey, and find a general rule.

The resource contains a...

These cre8ate maths materials have been designed to support the teaching of mathematics at Key Stage Three, but can be used at Key Stage Two and Key Stage Four, in the context of health and social care. The resources consist of Accessible Spaces, Classroom Olympics and Getting On.

This toolkit investigates the complexities of measuring health and well-being. Students can use the Health Index tool and access the raw data that is used to calculate it. This will allow them to analyse and interpret health and well-being trends and patterns within a local area or across different regions.

In this resource from Cre8ate maths students have the opportunity to work with complex charts, used by professionals who monitor the physical development of children.

The activities, for students to undertake, include...

This resource from London Curriculum  explores how statistical techniques are being applied to help solve the problem of air pollution in London. The resource consists of five lessons, covering Venn diagrams, graphs, correlation, representing data and careers:

Lesson 1: Using statistics to understand why air...

These problem solving Core Maths resources are suitable for small group work and discussion. The resource contains two modeling tasks which require the use of a spreadsheet.  The tasks are:

• Design a muesli and compare the costs...

This resource uses the context of football to introduce a heart rate investigation. Students take part in suggested exercises and measure their heart rate and recovery time.  They need to plot of graph of their heart rate for different activities, and are encouraged to decide the axis and scale of the graph for...

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.

In this resource students are shown how to measure their pulse rate. They then investigate the effect of other things...

A tennis ball is dropped from a height of 3 feet. The ball is shown bouncing on the ground. The challenge is to graph the height of the tennis ball against time. The resulting graph is parabolic with the amplitude showing a decrease each time.

This statistical investigation is based on the question: ‘Does the height of a tennis player affect the top speed of their service?’

Students need to decide what information is needed and how this can be obtained. Internet access is essential. This task involves data collection...

A stack of cups is shown. Cups are then added to the stack. Part way through the rate at which cups are added is increased. The challenge is to graph the height of the stack against time.

A person is shown on a swing. They swing back and forth at a constant rate and reach. After several swings, the person jumps off the swing and comes to rest. The challenge is to graph the height of their waist against time. The resulting graph is parabolic and periodic with a constant section at the end.
