Three petrol station pumps are shown with the amount of fuel and price being shown. Which of these gas pumps are trying to rip you off?

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This resource requires problem solving skills to identify linear and quadratic relationships in a realistic context.

Students investigate covering square table tops with three types of tile; square tiles, half tiles, and quarter tiles. They create examples and then identify the resulting sequences.  

...

This resource requires problem solving using skills in forming and factorising expressions.

Students begin by working out numerical examples where a number can be written as the difference of two square numbers. They need to choose systematic ways to collect and organise data, and examine it for patterns....

This report contains examples of fifteen mathematical inquiries carried out by a class of eleven year old students and is designed to demonstrate that it is possible to teach in a way which encourages students to begin to ask their own questions, to control the direction of their investigations, to make conjectures...

This resource develops the concept of manipulation and calculation with polynomials. Particular attention is paid to switching between algebraic and visual representations of polynomial expressions.  

Students focus on sequences generated from shading in parts of ‘dot’ diagrams. As an example, (n^2...

Generation Logistics is an initiative from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation to demonstrate to students and teachers the relevance of the logistics industry to their lives and the wide variety of career opportunities available.

The resources contained within this collection apply real-...

This series of logic puzzles requires students to read a story and extract relevant pieces of information to determine which person did what action in the story.

The logic puzzles can help build students' problem solving skills, extract information from longer more involved situations and break larger...

This group of mathematical problem-solving activities use the context of Norwest, a small chain of mini supermarkets serving small towns in the North West of England. The activities show how mathematics can be applied to practical situations in the world of logistics.

...

This group of packing problems, sometimes referred to as bin packing problems, show how mathematics can be applied to practical situations in the world of logistics.They are an accessible gateway to solving problems in such a manner to find the greatest or least solution. Once students are familiar with simple...

These videos and supporting activities have been reviewed by teachers and piloted in schools, and are designed to increase awareness and understanding of genetic disorders and to explain how differences in our genes help to make everyone unique. By encouraging acceptance and tolerance of difference, these resources...

The mathematics behind genetic fingerprinting is explored in this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Sketches show, in simplified form, how genetic fingerprinting can be applied to establish paternity and students calculate the probabilities of matching bands from samples.

In this Bowland task, students are presented with a picture of a geoboard - a number of nails arranged in a square lattice on a board. On the lattice there is a sequence of squares. Students are told the length of the side of each square, the number of nails on the edge of the square and the number of nails inside...

This resource contains many examples of different kinds of geometric pattern. The introduction begins with border patterns; simple patterns which are easily reproduced by students.

This is followed by examples of tile patterns. Geometric patterns 3 to 6 are concerned with cyclotomy; the division of a circle...
