This is one of a series of resources developed by the Institution of Engineering and Technology inspired by the achievements of the ancient Egyptians. It uses...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

In this presentation students are given a function and explore the mapping of natural numbers, as well as being challenged to find the inverse function. A link to the online encyclopaedia of integer sequences is provided for...

This resource from the Nuffield Foundation provides a set of 24 cards which students use to match graphs with descriptions of the real situations they represent. The slideshow includes the same graphs with added titles and labels. This can be used in a class discussion about the shapes of the graphs, the variables...

This resource develops the concept of exploring variables in everyday situations. In addition, students work on finding unknown values from known values, finding relationships between pairs of unknowns, expressing relationships in the form of tables and graphs, and rearranging formulas. The central theme of the...

A matching is a set of edges on a bipartite graph in which no two edges share a common vertex. A bipartite graph consists of two sets of vertices X and Y. The edges only join vertices in X to vertices in Y. A matching in a bipartite graph is the pairing of some or all of the vertices in X with some or all of the...

These resources, from the Maths Careers website, looks at the maths behind a variety of magic tricks and was created in conjunction with More Maths Grads and the University of Leeds. Tricks and ideas include those from Rob Eastaway, Johnny Ball and others.

The resource package includes a PowerPoint...

This resource focusses on measuring the lengths and widths of leaves from a tree, placing the data in a table and calculating the mean average of each. In this activity learners will measure the lengths and widths of six leaves from a single tree. They will place this data in a table and then calculate the mean...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the mathematics behind revolving doors, including circle properties, estimation, compound measures and mathematical modeling.

"Revolving doors...

Designed to be accessible for all primary aged children, this activity guides you and your pupils through a range of fun maths related ‘tea-party’ problems. This could be carried out as part of a design and technology or maths lesson, and is simple to follow, making it suitable for learning at home and in class....

This Core Maths task is suitable for small group work and provides a good opportunity to demonstrate and encourage mathematical modelling.  Students investigate the minimum amount of metal needed to contain a given amount of drink in a can. They are encouraged to explore ...

This series of Core Maths resources explore using linear programming to maximise profit in a number of different situations.

Maximising Profit: Linear Programming Examples
This package contains three different examples for students to explore, rocking horse manufacture, minibus travel...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the constraints and variables mathematically
• Explore the effects of systematically varying the constraints
• Interpret and evaluate generated data and identify the...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you access how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the variables mathematically
• Explore the effects on a rectangle’s area of systematically varying the dimensions whilst keeping the perimeter constant.

...

This is a problem solving lesson where students develop their understanding of the following areas:

• Drawing inferences about a population from a random sample of data
• Making and stating assumptions based on real-life situations
• Using proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio...

This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in engineering and mathematics. In this activity, pupils will make a balloon rocket and carry out timed tests to calculate the velocity of the balloon. The...
