The first three sheets of this interactive excel file show Venn Diagrams of two sets and allow the student to explore other sets based on their union, intersection and complements. By clicking on the Boolean Algebra expression the region is shown on the Venn Diagram....

This resource is part of a Nuffield Maths collection exploring Shape and Space. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

Through these resources students learn about shape and space using patterns, created by tessellating geometric shapes in Victorian...

Through this challenge, pupils will have the opportunity to explore and understand the everyday life of the Victorians. Pupils will have the opportunity to identify potential problems/areas of Victorian life where an invention could be useful and to use drawing, writing and speech to communicate their invention to...

In this puzzle, students are given diagrams showing different layouts of villages, roads and farms - acting as vertices, edges and regions. Students are given a series of rules and challenged to draw maps that meet a variety of different conditions.

In this video from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), engineers explain the technology behind Wii controllers. Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) is the technology behind games console controllers and products like air bags. New applications for...

This report, from the Royal Society, expresses the belief that science and mathematics are at the heart of modern life and provide the foundations for economic prosperity and explains the Royal Society’s ambition for the next twenty years of science and mathematics education. That it should enable people to make...

This worksheet challenges students to complete a number of drawing challenges, converting between 2D and 3D forms. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

This new curriculum resource from CensusAtSchool is presented at two levels of difficulty. This idea is relatively current as it links with the 'Da Vinci code' and the theory of the Vitruvian man as put forward by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519).

This activity shows how Earth observation can be used to study human geography by comparing the satellite images of Las Vegas over the last few decades. Linking to measurement of irregular areas and addition and multiplication of fractions, it asks children to measure the area of Las Vegas at three separate times...

Produced  in 2011 by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of mathematics and progression through STEM. It describes the development of the mathematics provision at Abingdon and Witney College. The aim was to make maths more relevant to students, particularly those...

This resource contains 18 instant maths ideas providing students with the opportunity to: * explore the volume of cubes and cuboids * consider what constitutes doubling in size * explore the open box problem * work out the minimum surface area required for a solid with a fixed volume * explore how much water is...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Volume covers the concept of volume, the volume of a cube, the volume of a cuboid, capacity, density and the volume of a triangular prism. The initial file forms part of the textbook....

In this resource students find the volume of a variety of cuboids in real life contexts.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.
