Complete customer orders for a large hardware store by interpreting ratios, rates and scales. Work in the manager's office and discover how ratios, rates and scales can be represented as graphs. Use the graphs to discover quantities for garden fertiliser ingredients, the cost of mulch, and for finding lengths of timber ...

• TLF-IDL762

Help three customers compare monthly call costs quoted by two different phone companies. Use line graphs to work out the costs for talk time, text messages and total costs. Recommend the best plan. This learning object is one in a series of six objects.

• TLF-IDL8098

Complete customer orders for a large hardware store by interpreting the ratios. Work in the gardening department to fill orders for fertiliser, to the strength requested by customers. You will need to set ratios for water:concentrate. Use the machine to set the ratios, create the right amounts and mix the fertiliser. Explore ...

This collection of resources for Applied Mathematics has helpful links for the six Focus Studies - Communication, Driving, Design, Household Finance, Human Body and Personal Resource Usage. A laptop-friendly resource.

• TLF-IDM008603

This is a 22-page guide for teachers. The module introduces the idea of direct proportion and illustrates its many uses in science, commerce and measurement. It looks at ratios, gradients and fractions. A history of the development and use of proportion concludes the module.

• TLF-IDM016441

This is the fourth in a series of Syllabus Bites related to direct and indirect proportion. Students use graphs, equations and numerical methods to solve problems involving direct proportion.

• TLF-IDM012158

This is a six-page HTML resource about solving problems concerning simple linear equations. It contains five questions, three of which are interactive, and one video. The resource discusses and explains the solution of simple linear equations to reinforce the students' understanding.

• TLF-IDL10090

Explore the graphs of linear equations in the form y = mx + c. Observe changes to the gradient and y-intercept under various transformations. Alternately, change the equation and observe changes in the y-intercept or change the y-intercept and see how the equation changes.

• TLF-IDM011459

This resource is a collection of screen displays of questions relating to linear equations and inequations. Graphing tasks involve determining the coordinates of two points on the linear function. Other tasks are presented as multiple-choice questions and involve finding slopes of lines, calculating intercepts with the ...

• TLF-IDM010542

These illustrated information sheets revise the rules for vertical and horizontal lines and the meaning of m and c in the rule y = mx + c. Students find the rule for a given linear graph. Tables of values are created so that graphs can be plotted. This resource is one of a series of online resources from the BBC's Bitesize ...

• TLF-IDM025321

This sequence of two lessons investigates gradient and angle by applying the tangent ratio to find the angles represented by a road sign or the angle of a street. In the first lesson, students research what a road grade is and determine the actual angle of a road given its grade. They then construct their own road sign ...
