The 1998 National Curriculum gave rise to new emphases in both algebra and geometry and to the place of using ICT to develop mathematical thinking. These resources from the National Strategies were developed to tackle these aspects of the curriculum.

The approaches described in the booklet [b]Developing...

This collection of materials were all produced by Frank Tapson for use in the mathematics classroom. The collection consists of two sub collections.

Exercises and Practice contains nine resources, each resource containing a number of activities which can be used in a variety of ways in the...

This collection of resources from the National Strategies includes resources for activities and lessons that make effective use of ICT in teaching and learning secondary mathematics. The resources include the use of spreadsheets, programs, dynamic geometry software, graph plotting software, video and internet...

A set of tried and tested curriculum resources which aim to improve students' enquiry skills and increase engagement.  

This video resource from Teachers TV features AST mathematics teacher Gary Morris, from William Parker Sports College in Hastings, as he delivers a Key Stage Four GCSE revision lesson which is intended to assess students' understanding of a recently completed module on statistical diagrams. Students work in teams...

This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around tesselation. 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.

The resource has three parts.

Continue the patterns 1 provides tessellating patterns produced on squared dotted lattice paper. Students are required to continue each of the patterns.

Continue the patterns 2 provides tessellating patterns produced on isometric dotted...

This resource contains eight instant maths ideas, designed to provide students with the opportunity to investigate which polyominoes tessellate, which triangles tessellate, which quadrilaterals tessellate, design their own shape that tessellates and find tessellating patterns in art and nature. Student resource...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Algebra. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

In this resource, students interpret a speed–time graph for a car during a test run and fit linear and quadratic models to the graph. 

This interactive file deals with various angles and lengths within tetrahedrons.

The first sheet shows the diagram of a regular tetrahedron. Various sides and angles need to be calculated using Pythagoras Theorem and...

An average of 39 million tonnes of untreated sewage overflows into the River Thames each year from London's Victorian sewerage system. This collection contains series of teaching and learning resources linking mathematics and science to the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, a major new sewer that will help protect the...

The Active Maths Pack was produced by the Spode Group at a time when teachers were coming to terms with coursework as a compulsory element of the GCSE mathematics course. The new national criteria for GCSE called for a greater emphasis on investigation, discussion, practical work and problem solving. The pack has...

Starting in January, the competition follows the story of two young cipher sleuths, Mike and Ellie, as they get caught up in a cryptographic adventure. Every week or two weeks a new chapter of the story is released with a code to crack.
