This resource features a short task on different representations of functions.

Students are presented with a matching exercise in which they must link together equations, tables of values, worded statements, and graphs for both linear and quadratic functions.

This task is from the Mathematics...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the properties of quadrilaterals using flow charts.

"Flow charts show the order in which a series of events is to be carried out. They are used...

The resources in this collection use everyday contexts, such as the design of music venues and airports, to encourage students to consider how materials need be tested for their suitability for a specific job before engineers in construction projects can choose them. The tasks ask students to think about what...

This resource, published at a time when teachers had become aware of the tremendous need for motivational topics in mathematics, gives students an appreciation of, and insight into, mathematics and helps adopt an experimental attitude to the teaching and learning of the...

This series of activities from NASA are based on a weekly series of space science problems distributed to teachers in the US, from 2004 to 2010. They were intended for students looking for additional challenges in the mathematics and physical science curriculum, from ages 9 to 19 years.

The problems were...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at space weather. 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 glimpses of modern...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. . Sessions in this resource look at: • Exploring right angles (using technololgy creatively and appropriately) • Shape - describing and visualising angles and lengths (encouraging reasoning rather...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. A range of sessions look at different aspects of space and shape. They illustrate a variety of teaching and learning approaches and allow practitioners to reflect and develop their skills....

British ESA astronaut Tim Peake invites UK children to exercise alongside him as he trains two hours a day on the highest and fastest gym in the Universe – travelling at 27,600 km per hour and circling the world every 90 minutes. The triathlon styled challenge encourages schools to create their own ‘spaceathlons...

This collection of Level 1 resources from Nuffield Mathematics covers Spatial techniques. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Foundation Level GCSE and Level 1 Functional Mathematics. 

The National Strategies designed some unit plans to exemplify units for Year Seven for those students working below level three. They represent a sample of units from the Year Seven curriculum map template and include ideas and activities that can be adapted to meet the needs of students, offering a flexible and...

In this activity, students are presented with the question: “Do speed cameras reduce road casualties – or not?”. The activity is set in the context of media reporting to explore ideas of randomness, probability and drawing conclusions from data. A secondary theme is the mathematical modelling of a real situation....

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

In this ‘Speed and distance’ resource students explore the idea that the area under speed-time graphs can be used...
