The first two sheets of this excel file shows sets of data about the weight of cows in two herds. The cumulative frequencies can be revealed and the quartiles and median are shown derived from the cumulative frequency graph. The next sheet shows the comparison of the two herds as shown by the box and whisker...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Cumulative frequency covers: a recap of the three types of average, a recap of range, how to graph grouped data, how to find the average of grouped data, culmulative frequency,...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Algebra. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

In this resource students model data measuring how long caffeine from tea, coffee or cola stays in the human body’s bloodstream. This involves drawing graphs, then...

This resource is an introduction to conversion graphs and direct proportionality in the context of currency conversion, reading and plotting graphs and calculating gradients, including using a spreadsheet.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

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.

The materials are an introduction to conversion graphs and direct proportionality in the context of currency conversion,...

This resource, from the Royal Institution, provides students with the opportunity to explore the formation of a parabola through a paper folding activity. Students follow a set of simple instructions which describe how to fold a piece of A4 paper and are asked to describe what shape is produced. The activity is...

This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘volume’. Resources comprise:

• Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem

• Act Two: further relevant...

Act 1

An animation shows candies being packaged in the...

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematical models try to understand the causes of rogue waves. These huge waves appear without warning, towering high over ships and oil rigs. Traditional mathematical models could not predict the occurrence...

In this activity students consider the questions: Where does rain water go? How can we model the flow of rainwater in real life? What can be done to prevent flooding? When is rain dangerous? Where do floods come from? How can we reduce the damage that flooding causes? Over the last decade some parts of Europe have...

This resource begins by considering how the dartboard and the game of darts, can be used in practising arithmetic. Students are asked to consider the different ways each score1 to 60 can be achieved using a single dart. Students are asked to find the maximum and minimum score achievable with 1, 2 and 3 darts.

The mathematics generated by a dart board is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics teaching. The apparent randomness of the sector placement on a standard dart board is explained and students explore the possible scores that can be achieved with a selection of darts. Establishing...
