This collection of starting activities for A level mathematics is intended to enrich the post-16 learning of mathematics students in lots of A Level classrooms. All risps tackle topics from either AS/A2 Core (Pure) Mathematics or the Further Mathematics syllabus, with the aim of making learning more exploratory and...

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

In this ‘Road test’ resource students use acceleration and braking data from a car road test to draw graphs....

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

This activity is about using graphical and algebraic methods to solve problems in real contexts that can be...

This space themed maths game provides an opportunity for children to practice working with number bonds to 10. It can be played either as a board game in pairs or used within an interactive whiteboard page.

To play the game the 10 number cards are shuffled and placed face-down near the board. Players take it...

From NASA, these activities look at the scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical foundations of rocketry to provide exciting classroom opportunities for authentic hands-on experimentation. Rockets have formed the basis of space exploration.

Extensive teachers' notes, guidance and lesson plans...

This detailed exemplar explores the rocket engine performance in the BLOODHOUND SSC engineering project. It requires student knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics when applied in mechanical engineering.

In this Bowland assessment task, students are presented with five rods of different lengths. Rods can be joined to make different triangles. Students are challenged to form as many triangles with as many different properties as possible. They are required to identify triangles, describe angles, justify their...

In this Teachers TV video, a group of STEM ambassadors visit Bradfield...

This resource is based on Thomas Heatherwick’s rolling bridge at Paddington Basin in London. Rolling bridges are also used in areas after natural disasters to provide temporary crossings. There are exercises involving the mathematical analysis of the design and some basic construction of models of the bridge. The...

Produced by Rolls-Royce, this toolkit of careers resources helps students to see the connection between STEM subjects studied in school, college or university and future job opportunities. The resources are designed to help students to understand: * The wide range of jobs and industries which require STEM skills....

Aimed at primary, this resource looks at recognising and converting Roman Numerals. It contains an introduction to reading and writing Roman Numerals and an activity in which children practice converting Roman numbers to decimal numbers and vice versa. Also included is a game in which the winner is to the first to...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand:

• Symmetry
• Names of shapes
• Describing angles

A representation is shown of a Roman mosaic floor that was uncovered in Spain. The task is to describe the complete pattern as precisely as possible, so that someone...

Ros Brain, Deputy Head Teacher in a primary school, recruited four STEM Ambassadors from STEMNET to bring alive the topic of poor sanitation for an activity day in her school.

The children got involved in a range of practical and fun experiments which were relevant not only to the themes of problem solving,...
