The curriculum objectives covered by this resource are:

• To identify and name different types of angles
• To know and recall vocabulary associated with different types of angles
• To identify and recall the...

The yearbooks of the UK Mathematics Trust contain an account of UKMT activities for each year and also contain all question paper, solutions and results.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate environmental issues in the context of the design and operation of a new school. Students are required to apply their mathematical understanding of formulae and...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the terms: mean, median, mode, range and explore the relationships between these measures and their relationship to the shape of a distribution. Students will have met the terms mean, median, mode and range but they may not have a clear understanding...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the difference between perimeter and area. Students get practice in calculating the areas and the perimeters of rectangular shapes. Students may have had some previous experience of calculating perimeter and area. (GCSE Grades D - G)

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students learn to interpret numerical expressions using words and area representations, recognise the order of operations and equivalent expressions and understand the distributive laws of multiplication and division
over addition (the expansion of brackets). Most...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Units of measure covers: estimating using metric units of length, mass and capacity; converting between metric units, estimating using imperial units of length, mass and capacity...

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematicians' understanding of knots can help unravel potentially fatal knots in DNA molecules. Understanding how to manipulate tangles of DNA could help us create new treatments for diseases, so...

These resources from the European Space Agency climate change initiative education resource pack allow students to learn how a built up environment can lead to the urban heat island effect, so called urban hotspots. This phenomenon leads to temperature rises in cities that exceed those in surrounding rural...

This booklet outlines how assessment for learning can raise achievement in school. Evidence suggests that using good strategies for formative, (day to day) assessment could lead to significant improvements in the performance of pupils.

• Read section 1 on Learning goals, self-assessment and peer...

This guidance booklet, from the National Strategies collection, was inspired by the documents Inside the black box (Black & Wiliam, 1998) and Assessment for Learning, beyond the black box (Assessment Reform Group, 1999) and outlines how assessment for learning can raise achievement in school....

[b]Functions and their derivatives:[/b] the objective of this activity is to develop skills in working with functions, their derivatives and function notation. The suggested activity begins by asking students to explain what is meant by f'(3) and what is the difference between f(2) and f'(2). There follows a...

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

This resource provides a lesson in which children understand and use negative numbers in the context of
temperatures. Looking at the temperatures of different cities, they find missing temperatures and temperature differences. Temperature scales are provided which could help children who need a visual...
