Act 1

A picture is shown of a circle filled with toy cars. How many cars are shown in the picture?

Act 2

Further information is given about the dimension of the circle. Another picture shows a model car placed at the side of a penny. A final piece of information gives the price of a toy car. ...

In this Core Maths resource students are asked to apply their knowledge of upper and lower bounds when designing a car park for a department store. 

The teacher's notes suggest possible extensions, such as comparing with a real car park or finding possible profit if their design...

Mathematical modelling is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students explore the mathematics behind carbon emission measurement and the concept of carbon footprints. Basic calculations for the travel component of a carbon footprint are demonstrated here, but many...

This task assesses how well students understand calculating conditional probability.

The task features a game of ‘higher or lower’ being played with cards numbered 1 to 10. Several turns in a game are shown and students must write the probability that the next card is either higher or lower.

This task...

A set of STEMNET case studies profiling the careers of a selection of STEM Ambassadors. The case studies illustrate the ways different jobs require an understanding of science and also the routes into a range of careers. The case studies cover a wide area of work including:

Carom Maths provide this resource which contains a collection of 40 PowerPoint presentations that include activities, designed by Jonny Griffiths, to explore mathematics not found on the A Level syllabus.

It is a useful reference for teachers who want to give students the opportunity of learning something...

Comparing National Statistic data to CensusAtSchool data on car ownership and traffic is the task in this resource. Students are required to use their skills of reasoning to compare car ownership in different regions and interpretation of line graphs. In the extension task, students are required to read two-way...

In this resource from CensusAtSchool, students are asked to collect data about the number of cars owned by the households of class members, and present it as a bar or frequency graph.

This resource from Mathcentre explores vectors in two and three-dimensions, how to calculate the length of a position vector and the angle between a position vector and an x axis. After reading through the text and completed the exercise questions, students should be able to: 

• coordinate unit vectors...

In these Standards Unit: Improving Learning in Mathematics videos you have the opportunity to explore some of the experiences of the teachers and trainers in taking part in the pilot project.
