•...

These 20 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, require students to explore the perimeters of rectangles which have the same area, convert between different units, investigate Pick’s theorem, explore the four colour theorem,...

This resource consists of two interactive excel files.

Area and Perimeter: Algebraic, Rectangles
The first two sheets...

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of area and perimeter, from calculating area by counting squares to finding the formula for the area of a trapezium.

This resource contains eight activities for use in the classroom.

Self descriptive numbers: 'Four' is a self descriptive number as the word four contains 4 letters. This is the only number for which this is the case. However if 22 is represented as 17+1+4 then this written in words takes 22...

This resource features four short tasks that involve simplifying expressions.

The topics covered include expanding polynomials, using the remainder theorem, and identifying the zeros of a cubic.

This task resource is from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration between UC Berkeley...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. This resource covers: addition and subtraction of whole numbers, dealing with brackets, addition and subtraction of decimals, dealing with money. The initial file forms part of the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. This resource covers, place value, rounding to the nearest 10,100,1000 and rounding to decimal places. The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet, extra exercises...

This activity requires students to use computer software to try to save a space borne tourist attraction, AstroZoo, which has various exotic space creatures, but has fallen on hard times. The zoo was once a great success, but bad management has seen oxygen reserves exhausted, creature enclosures overpopulated,...

The application of mathematics is the focus of this resource, provided by the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students are given information which relates to the layout of an athletics track and are guided through a series of activities that have been designed to prompt class discussion and develop...

The jet streams are bands of fast winds high in the atmosphere which are driven by pressure differences. Stormy weather follows the jet stream. In this film, Tim Woollings from the University of Oxford shows how, as the lower atmosphere gets warmer, we need to understand how the patterns of pressure and the jet...

This teaching resource is based on the discovery of a giant 30 000 year old virus, still alive under the permafrost. As the world warms, others may be uncovered. Could such an ancient virus wipe out the human race? In this activity, students learn how to interrogate sources to separate science fact from fiction....
