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 Factor Cards, learners practise expanding brackets and/or factorising quadratic expressions.

This resource contains two interactive excel programs which enable students to investigate cubic functions and the relationship between the factorised form and the graph.

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students learn to associate x-intercepts with finding values of x such that f (x) = 0, sketch graphs of cubic functions, find linear factors of cubic functions and develop efficient strategies when factorising cubic functions. Students should have some familiarity with...

This activity takes the form of a series of crosses in which numbers are placed into the left and right hand cells in such a way that the top cell contains their product and the bottom cell their sum. The combination of values provided varies requiring students to perform different tasks to solve the problems....

This resource consists of a presentation and some supporting materials to enable students to research and create their own presentation around the ideas that there are Ethical, Legal and Environmental Issues surrounding the use of ICT in Business and Educational surroundings. The presentation sets the scene,...

In the factors, multiples and primes activity students are required to use their knowledge of the properties of numbers to solve a puzzle. There are thirty three sequentially numbered figures to be shared between six teachers. The first has all factors of 36, the second has all prime numbers, the...

The relationship between third world countries and the developed world is demonstrated in this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Teaching Mathematics. Students work in groups to make and sell shapes, which are bought by the class teacher who performs the dual roles of Banker and United Nations. Market...

From Practical Action, these materials help students to look at Fair Trade and sustainable development. It poses the question: Is there any way in which the London Olympics in 2012 and future Olympics can contribute to making the world a fairer, more sustainable place?

In this Science upd8 activity students use chemical techniques and reactions to investigate a crime scene. Students learn about the particle model to solve a crime that has been committed in an art gallery. They compare ways to show fingerprints including using the sublimation of iodine.

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Cars on the move’. This X Unit provided enough material for eight double periods. It could be selected to complete either a Science or a Further Science course.

The teachers’ guide included 10 worksheets to supplement the students’...

This Catalyst article investigates how scientists make images using colours to represent electromagnetic radiations which humans cannot see. Human eyes detect visible light, just a small region in the electromagnetic spectrum. Using scientific instruments, many other types of radiation can be detected. Different...
