This activity has been designed to connect primary teachers, pupils and schools with staff from a wide range of job and career roles in the Environment Agency. It is guidance on how an Environment Agency STEM Ambassador can talk to children to inspire them with their enthusiasm for their role at the Environment...

A function is defined so that f(xy) = f(x) + f(y) for all positive integers x and y. Students are given the value of f(10) and (40) and are challenged to determine the value of f(500).

In each student worksheet contains different values for f(10) and f(40) but for...

A triangle is shown divided into two regions by a straight line, resulting in the triangle being split into a smaller triangle and a cyclic quadrilateral. A task is set to determine the ratio of an angle and an opposite side. In each of the numerical examples given the answer to 6 significant figures is 14.
