Number Puzzles 2

In this collection of number puzzles, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT), students have to find missing numbers each of which is depicted by a different colour. The product of the numbers at the corners of each triangle or quadrilateral is...

Numbers

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on numbers and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years. Each section offers an overview of a particular...

Old New Year

Discovering the day of the week upon which a particular date occurred is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematical Teaching. The Julian and Gregorian calendars, amongst others, are discussed and students are provided with an algorithm, which they use to verify the day of their own...

Penalty Shoot Out

Simulation of penalty shoot-outs is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematical Teaching. Students use random numbers to decide the probability of a team scoring a goal, as well as investigating the average number of kicks and the most likely result. The tasks are designed to prompt...

Percentages

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on percentages and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years. Each section offers an overview of a...

Physical Fitness

Testing physical fitness is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students are provided with sample data, which they apply to the Gallagher and Brouha Test to calculate the fitness index and determine appropriate grades. The resource is designed to prompt class...

Polygons

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Polygons covers: basic angle facts, angle properties of polygons, a revision of the symmetry of simple objects, the symmetry of regular polygons and the properties of...

Popular Baby Names

Trends in the popularity of names is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, which illustrates the concepts and strategies for interpreting data. Because there is no one explanation for the change of popularity of names this resource raises one of the fundamental issues...

Practice Book 1a

These materials, produced by the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) for the primary extension of the Mathematics Enhancement Programme, include the pages from Practice Book 1a with detailed lesson plans and all necessary resources to accompany them....

Practice Book 1b

These materials, produced by the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) for the primary extension of the Mathematics Enhancement Programme, include the pages from Practice Book 1b, with detailed lesson plans and all necessary resources to accompany them....
