This report published by the Nuffield Foundation in January 2012 provides an up-to-date picture of the scale of UK foundation resources devoted to international development. It also identifies how these resources are distributed across region and need, and how foundations approach international funding activities...

Global warming is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students are provided with data relating to average temperature rises over a 110 year period which are used to prompt class discussion and mathematical thinking.

Graphical representation is a key element of...

This Core Maths task explores the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (set in 2000).

The resource asks students to use data to consider if the UN millennium goal to reduce the under-five child mortality rate by two-thirds by the year 2015 has been realised.

The teacher guidance provides a...

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at how mathematicians can help industry to manage their use of fluids. Many industrial processes involve the complex movement of fluids, but predicting fluid behaviour can often be difficult. Mathematical models of fluid flow can help to improve manufacturing efficiency and...

In this Cre8ate maths topic students work out what a portion size looks like, find out whether they are eating enough fruit and vegetables and compare the costs of making and buying smoothies. In How much is in a portion, students estimate weights of fruit and vegetables then weigh each item and calculate their...

In this Nuffield resource rooms in a rectangular maze of rooms have bags with a varying number of gold coins. Students explore the effect of the route on the number of gold coins that can be collected.

The key processes involved in the activities are:

*Representing - identifying the mathematics...

This Bowland assessment task takes students back to the American ‘gold rush’ of the 19th century. Prospectors can rent an area of land. Each explorer is given four pegs and a 100m length of rope and can make a rectangle shape of whatever dimensions they choose. Students explore what is the maximum area they can...

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 resource, students practise rearranging formulae. There is a worksheet for individual work and a set of...

GAIM is a teacher assessment scheme for Key Stages Three and Four of the National Curriculum and for GCSE.

The scheme was designed for all 11-16 year olds (years 7 to 11) and:

• used the framework of levels 2-10 in the five national curriculum attainment targets to provide student profiles

This excel program contains a series of interactive spreadsheets designed to explore the concept of a gradient of a curve.

The first activity illustrates that the gradient of a function, at a point P, is the gradient...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spread sheets designed to explore the concept of a gradient of a curve.

The first activity illustrates that the gradient of a function, at a point P, is the gradient...

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

This resources is an introduction to differentiation. Students are shown how to use a spreadsheet to find the gradients of functions of the form xⁿ. This...

This resource contains two activities each containing a set of problems graduated in difficulty.

[b]Rectangles:[/b] Contains twenty seven questions requiring students to answer simple problems about the area and the perimeter of rectangles gradually becoming more challenging with questions such as find four...
