Working with Chemicals
These materials have been designed by Cre8ate maths to support mathematics teaching in the context of chemical substances. The resources include Making Molecules, Waste Management and Hair and Beauty, giving students the opportunity to build models, investigate sequences, interpret graphs and discover the application of the data handling cycle, all of which will promote discussion and improve insight into the practical application of mathematical principles. No previous knowledge of chemistry is needed.

Making Molecules
This Cre8ate maths resource investigates the structure of some hydrocarbons. Molecules which have the same chemical formula but a different structure are called isomers. A printed sheet representing carbon and hydrogen atoms is cut up and used, as a kinaesthetic...

Hair and Beauty
This resource from Cre8ate maths is designed to help students develop their understanding of the data handling cycle. Initially students will match 14 questions with their answers, prompting discussion as some are not relevant to the topic and others could have multiple answers, but there is only one way to...
Crystal Shapes 1
This activity from Cre8ate maths explores the rotational symmetry of carefully chosen crystals. Initially students work with plain and coloured nets of cubes may use trial and improvement methods to find different possible rotations of symmetry, before exploring ways to be systematic in their investigation. For...
Crystal Shapes 2
This activity from Cre8ate maths explores Platonic solids, which are formed from regular polygons where all their faces are identical and all their vertices are identical too. Students are told that there are only five platonic solids, which they can build using triangles, squares and pentagons. Completing the...
