This module from the Nuffield Foundation introduces simple ideas of topology starting from informal considerations of topological transformations progressing to work on networks (the bulk of the content) and ending with an investigation into map colouring.

Torbury Festival is a set of interactive lessons around staging of a music festival. To overcome various challenges, from floods to escaped cattle to over-excited crowds storming the stage, students must apply their mathematical knowledge to real life situations. The problems are intended to promote discussion,...

This resource from stats4schools focuses on which attractions in London are the most popular using data from the National Tourist Board covering the years 1994 to 2001. Students can interpret information from tables, manipulate data, investigate tourism and plan a visit to London.

The resource includes a...

Many real-life situations can be modelled in the form of a network or “graph” of the kind used for colouring in the Poor Cartographer – Graph ...

This mathematical investigation from the National Strategies Study Plus collection starts with the idea of someone being locked up in a tower.

The context could to be adapted so that it will appeal to the students, for example built around spies, knights of old, or TV characters. The tower shape and number...

This pack of resources is based upon Hurricane Matthew and is designed as a complete Scheme of Work on GIS skills that teachers can use with geography classes from KS3 to KS5, using the...

Using sparkles to code flashing sequences. There are variations on difficulty including the introduction of switches.

In this resource the time is given for a train to pass a signal. The time is also given for a train to completely pass through a tunnel. It is assumed that the train is travelling at constant speed. The task is to calculate the length of the train.

Solving the problem requires the use of the formula for...

This resource consists of four interactive excel files dealing with single transformations of 2D shapes.

Transformation: Enlargement...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Transformations covers: a review of the names and properties of common 2D shapes, translating by a vector, enlargements, reflections, rotations and combining transformations....

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at transits, eclipses and occultations. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of translations and vectors, from creating border patterns to working with vectors.

Translations and vectors pack one contains twelve work cards with a...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe the heating effect of current on a conducting wire.
• Predict changes to current through transmission lines using P = I x V. 
• Calculate power dissipated by a wire...
