An interesting investigation to see what factors can affect the moment of inertia of a flywheel.  This is good to discuss errors in measurements (such as counting rotations) and would be good to develop improvements.

This resource has been provided by Keith Gibbs.

Produced by LSIS, this short activity can be used to monitor and assess understanding of moments. It can also be used as an extension or reinforcement activity at the end of a topic on moments or as a revision activity. It is a useful way to check students’ familiarity with, and use of, the spoken and written...

The games in this pack, from Shropshire Centre for Mathematics Education, provides students with repeated opportunities to develop skills of counting and exchanging coins, as well as adding coin values mentally. Several of the games can also be extended into puzzles and...

In this practical exploration from the Nuffield Foundation, students are asked to design a wallet, purse, or credit card holder for a target consumer, and explain the rationale underlying their design.

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the mechanical and electrical engineering power industry. Here students learn how statistical models are used to set alarms which detect changes in vibration above normal values. The alarms highlight that...

This lesson is designed to generate discussion in students regarding the common Lunar conspiracy theories. Through looking at statements, analysing the reliability of the sources, and critically analysing the comments and applying scientific principles, students will come to their own conclusions about whether the...

Based on information and guides provided by the Department of Transport, this Cre8ate maths activity introduces the cost benefits of improving the aerodynamics of the cab section of a truck. Mathematical connections involve using calculators and spreadsheets to work on conversions and percentages in the context of...
