A primary mathematics series from the late 1960s.

In this case study Newham Sixth Form College, one of London’s largest sixth form colleges, discussed how it offers Core Maths to some of its more than 2,500 full-time students.

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This resource is an...

A detailed investigation to measure the wavelength of sodium light.  This could be tied into red shift and the absorption spectrum.  Some specific equipment like a travelling microscope is required but should be accessible for most.

Two resources from SMILE Mathematics containing a number of good ideas for use in the classroom. Each case study is accompanied by at least one commentary from a teacher explaining how they used the idea. Each activity has information about how long the activity will last, what preparation is required, what...

The first of two volumes, from SMILE mathematics, of useful and interesting activities covering a wide range of mathematical themes. Teachers describe the ways in which they have used the ideas in the classroom and provide a number of tips and suggestions to help vary...

This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to non-linear graphs. Additionally, some of the situations result in parabolas or graphs that are periodic.

This interactive excel file contains a series of normal distribution curves to investigate.

The first sheet displays the standard normal curve. The mean and variance can be adjusted and compared to the original graph...
