This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), looks at how the boomerang works from design and scientific principles. Students explore how aerodynamic forces affect the flight of objects, relate the design features of the boomerang to its path...
This Core Maths resource contains teachers' notes, lesson plan and student handouts that explore budgeting and foreign exchange. The two topics can be combined into one large project or taught as two discrete tasks.
There is a Powerpoint presentation of the tasks for classroom use, including possible...
A set of simple scratch ‘debugging’ activities that children can use to apply their understanding of programs and codes. Children are shown a series of faulty programs which are based around the water cycle. They are then supported to use logical reasoning to locate and fix the bugs within them. Notes for...
In this activity, students create colour images from satellite data. This allows them to study how different surfaces reflect different wavelengths of light, how coloured images are created using an RGB model, and how band combinations can be chosen to examine a particular landscape effectively.
This resource develops the concept of solving equations where the unknown appears once or more than once.
Students are given the equation
x = 6
and then told that the value of x could have been derived from the equation
3x = 2x + 6
Students are then construct their own equation...
This toolkit explores important economic indicators and trends in the UK economy. Students can use the World trade explorer and access a range of raw data about different economic indicators. These can help them to analyse and interpret trends and patterns within the UK economy. They can also explore the economic...
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), focuses on the design of a tessellated product and preparation for manufacture. The resource is designed to allow students to:
• be able to analyse a design brief
• be able to generate...
This activity from the Nuffield Foundation shows students how to use Kruskal’s and Prim’s algorithms to solve minimum connector problems. A cable TV company wants to lay cables to connect the towns, laying the cable along the roads shown on a map of the Isle of Wight. They want to connect all of these towns to...
In this activity, learners will compare journey times for different modes of transport and will calculate the time to travel specified distances. It allows learners to apply their maths skills in a practical application.
Materials include an introductory presentation, activity sheet and handout.

This practical activity from the Royal Institution provides students with an understanding of the different ways in which proportion can be expressed. Through a mixture of explanation and practical work, students explore how it is possible to give an accurate quantitative description of colours. Students mix...
This lesson develops the concept of finding areas of sectors. In particular students will:
- Find perimeters, areas, and arc lengths of sectors using formulas
- Find the relationships between arc lengths, and areas of sectors after scaling
- Using radians
The initial challenge...
This lesson develops the concept of calculating the volume of compound objects. In particular, students enhance their understanding of:
- Computing measurements using formulas.
- Decomposing compound shapes into simpler ones.
- Using right triangles and their properties to solve real-world...
This toolkit explores the census and its significance in understanding population dynamics. Students can use the Census maps tool, Build a custom area profile tool and access raw data from the census. They can:
- discover how statistical inferences are made about populations
- compare different...
In this Core Maths activity students are invited to play a game using non-transitive dice, and explore the probability behind them.
Champion of the world: Teacher guide
This teacher guidance gives an overview of the task including prior student knowledge, suggested approaches and...
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that the acidity of a solution depends on the number of hydrogen ions per litre; the number of hydrogen ions per litre varies so much that a logarithmic scale is...
