A parabola is given with the x-coordinate of the minimum point, and two points on the parallelogram shown. The points are joined and then a parallel line is drawn that is a...

There are a series of quadrilaterals on is presented on plain paper. The initial task is to form the shape derived by joining the midpoints of each side. The resulting quadrilateral is in each...

There are a series of quadrilaterals presented on a grid. The initial task is to form the shape derived by joining the midpoints of each side. The resulting quadrilateral is in each case a...

This RISP activity is in the form of a puzzle in which students are given a general parametric equation with missing coefficients. A number of clues are given such as a point through which the curve passes. Students have to use their understanding of parametric equations to find the missing numbers. There are a...

Help encourage your child's STEM skills, passion and talent with this parents' guide to engineering careers.

In this activity from the Nuffield Foundation, which uses a scenario of parking permits at a college to introduce the topic, students learn about collecting data by stratified sampling and designing a questionnaire. A full review of relevant statistical terms is provided, together with instructions of how to select...

In this case study Parliament Hill school discusses how Core Maths have proven to be popular with their students- including how it put on an extra group to meet demand and working with other local schools.

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.

‘Part-time work survey’ is a statistical investigation into students’ paid employment. Students design questionnaires,...

In this resource the mass of a group of objects is given, with the mean matching the number of objects. The mass of a subset of the objects is given, again with the mean mass matching the number of objects. The challenge is to calculate the mean mass of the remaining objects.

Solving the problem requires the...

There are three pictures given of multipacks of food. In each case, some items have been removed from the multipack, and the shopper wishes to purchase the quantities left. The prices are given for a full multipack for each product. What is the total grocery bill?

This Mathcentre booklet explains the structure of Pascal's triangle and demonstrates how it can be used to raise a binomial expression to a power higher than two. For example if students are asked to find (x+1)⁷ it would be very cumbersome to do this by repeatedly multiplying the expression by itself....

This excel file shows how Pascal's triangle can be used to calculate probabilities. Separate sheets show the possible outcomes when different numbers of coins are tossed. With the smaller number of coins these outcomes are listed.

This Association for Science Education (ASE) resource from the SYCD: Science Year Primary collection provides a template for a successful bridging topic between primary and secondary schools.
