This is a problem solving lesson, designed to assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the constraints and variables mathematically
• Explore the effects of systematically varying the constraints
• Interpret and evaluate generated data and identify the...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you access how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the variables mathematically
• Explore the effects on a rectangle’s area of systematically varying the dimensions whilst keeping the perimeter constant.

This is a problem solving lesson where students develop their understanding of the following areas:

• Drawing inferences about a population from a random sample of data
• Making and stating assumptions based on real-life situations
• Using proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio...

This series of excel sheets look at the turning points of quadratic and cubic functions. New examples can be generated on each sheet every time the resource is used.

The first interactive sheet shows the gradient at...

This book, from the Nuffield Foundation, describes problems and events occurring in an imaginary school, each written up in the form of a case study designed to be of value to students and teachers in training. It is one of the eight publications prepared by the Science Teacher Education Project (STEP), a project...

In this resource students explore the science of combustion in the context of fuel-burning stoves from around the world. They investigate the energy output from a variety of fuels covering calorific values, simple combustion chemistry, stove efficiency and chimney design. The unit ends with a design task requiring...

This resource features a task that explores matching an equation to a situation, solving the equation and then using the information to solve a further problem.

Ten people go out for dinner and have a choice of a three-course meal for $15 or a two-course meal for $12. The bill comes to $141. Five equations...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Calculus. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

In this resource students learn how to find the mean values of quantities varying with time. This involves finding the area under graphs, initially by using...
