This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), makes students aware that when they watch television, or use the phone, there is a huge, expensive infrastructure that needs to be paid for and maintained.

In this activity, students use what they have found out about community transport systems to suggest possible solutions to existing transportation problems. They watch the film Transportation Planning which focuses on the career of a transportation planner who worked on...

In this activity, students are asked to think about current methods of community transport and the associated pros and cons. Their ideas are then used to compile a class list of criteria that future methods of community transport should fulfill. For example,...

This is a concept development lesson, designed to help students make meaningful comparisons between data sets. There is a particular focus on central tendency and variability. Topics covered include:

• Mean
• Median
• Outliers
• Standard deviation
• Mean absolute deviation...

This resource develops the concept of interpreting speed as the slope of a linear graph. There is also work on translating between the equation of a line and its graphical representation.

Students consider a graph drawn to model the flow between two identical right rectangular prisms. There are subsequent...

This lesson develops the concept of direct proportion and its application to problems. The works addresses the following problems that students might have:

• Use of inappropriate additive strategies in scaling problems.
• Inefficient strategies such as not using a single multiplier for solving...

This maths-based challenge explores sustainable travel, developing student understanding of the effects that some modes of transport have on the environment and ways of reducing it.

Students are asked to compare alternative methods of transport by calculating journey times and their carbon footprints.  The...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the variables mathematically
• Interpret and evaluate the data generated and identify the break-even point

The problem is set in the context of the cost...

An unplugged activity to convert binary numbers into coordinates that enable students to recreate an image using values given in binary. The resource also includes a spreadsheet which can be used to make more complex images for use with students at a more advanced level. The presentation is more of a discussion of...

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

This presentation introduces the Conics and provides a Geogebra file for students to explore how, by changing the eccentricity of a curve, the locus of a point is altered. They are also challenged to vary the constants of an...

During this Licence to Cook practical session, students make either koftas, spicy bean burgers or a fish and vegetable stack to demonstrate their skills and understanding of ingredient preparation. It also provides the opportunity for students to use a food processor to prepare ingredients.

This session can...

During this Licence to Cook practical session, students can make either a classic tomato ragu or ratatouille. These recipes demonstrate how a simple tomato based sauce can form the basis of many dishes and meals, as well as providing an opportunity to practice essential knife skills. Students will also use the hob...

This Licence to Cook practical session is about making a simple curry dish in one pan. It demonstrates the use of simple pieces of equipment in the preparation of a dish that students could easily prepare at home. During this session, students can make a spinach, potato and chickpea curry, lamb korma or Thai green...
