Produced by the Spode Group, this resource illustrates many applications of topics in A-level mathematics. The book is divided into four chapters. Each chapter contains a number of case studies. Each case study is divided into an introductory problem statement, solution and further exercises.

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore information generated from a motor race.

"Modern data analysis techniques can be used to provide ongoing performance analysis of the vehicles in a motor race. However, even...

Movies are amazing: a good movie can make you laugh, cry or jump in surprise. But how do they do it? The music you are listening to plays a big part. This programme investigates the design and technology that goes into making movies sound good – from understanding how soundtracks can make you feel a particular...

Sometimes what looks like magic is actually science! In this programme, pupils will look at magic and movie tricks for inspiration and find out how it’s done. They explore how things are done to make movies look realistic, and investigate whether some of the themes or technology from the movies could be possible in...

In this Core Maths task students construct line graphs for time series data, calculate the moving average and interpret the graph, stating conclusions.

Moving Averages: Front sheet
This teacher guidance gives an overview of the task including prior student knowledge, suggested...

In this resource, from the Department fof Education Standards Unit, students learn to distinguish, by drawing and by using the order of the vertices, between Eulerian graphs, semi-Eulerian graphs and graphs that are neither; and to find strategies for solving the route inspection or ‘Chinese postman’ problem....

This task requires students to find dates of birth where the square of the year (the last two digits) gives the day and the month, e.g. 26/01/51, because 51² = 2601.

Students then need to use Fermi estimates to calculate how many people might have been born on these...

This game, aimed at primary level, allows children to practice multiplication problems. Children move along a track landing on different numbers, mainly from the 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables. To move they must say the pair of numbers (factors) which will multiply together to give a nearby product on the board. The...

A series of eight simultaneous equations are given and the initial challenge is to discover the single point of intersection of the lines. On each of the examples given the intersection takes as...

This short clip is the first of a suite of videos which look at progression in multiplication at primary level. It follows Sam, a Key Stage One teacher as she reinforces children’s understanding of the concept of multiplication using the interactive whiteboard. Children are asked to match pictorial representations...

This resource features two short tasks that involve finding multiple solutions to equalities and inequalities.

The first task is to find two solutions to

x² = 121

The examples then increase in difficulty, with an example being to find two solutions to

(x – 1)(5x⁴ –...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

In this activity a set of numbers is referred to as multiple free if there is no pair of numbers in the set such that one is a multiple of the other and the challenge is to find the largest multiple free set from the first...
