Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of vectors and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include an introduction to vectors, calculating the vector and scalar...

This set of Cre8ate maths activities requires pupils to practice number operations, to search for pattern in number and to work and deepen with their arithmetic understandings. In Vedic multiplication, these understandings are developed into simple algebra. This topic follows on from Vedic maths one and explores...

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....

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.

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...

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....

Published by BEAM this resource contains 21 activity cards on volume and capacity, which allow children to develop their mathematical skill by actively estimating, measuring and comparing capacity and volume. Developed by teachers, the cards help find a way of teaching which fits with the way children learn...

Students are presented with a start number. The teacher then controls the speed at which the next instruction is revealed. Students are required to multiply, find percentages, round to the nearest ten… The final page reveals the total students should have reached. The questions contained are appropriate to the...

This resource from Cre8ate maths works with government statistics to raise issues related to waste recycling. It would work well as a cross curricular topic with science colleagues, so that students understand both the chemical and energy issues involved in waste disposal. Students are presented with a composite...

This brief activity uses false-colour images of the Columbia glacier to introduce the idea of using sequences of satellite images to monitor change and focuses on the selection of appropriate data for an investigation.

Using this resource from stats4schools, students investigate TV viewing habits by interpreting data and graphs, manipulating data to answer questions and draw conclusions.

The resource includes a lesson plan, datasheet, questions sheet and dataset.
