Maths comes alive with 'Maths in a Box'!
Maths in a Box is a vital resource for all maths teachers in secondary schools and FE colleges and also for university outreach departments. It shows that maths is used in a whole number of ways that school students may never have thought of. For example, it shows how quadratic equations and probability are linked to football and how logarithms are used in our analysis of earthquakes. And at the same time, it shows how maths can be fun, as students will be able to perform - and understand - the magic tricks for themselves.
More Maths Grads
More maths grads was a three-year project (2007 - 2010) funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England to develop, trial and evaluate means of increasing the number of students studying mathematics and encouraging participation from groups of learners who have not traditionally been well represented in higher education.
