Using sparkles to code flashing sequences. There are variations on difficulty including the introduction of switches.

In this resource the time is given for a train to pass a signal. The time is also given for a train to completely pass through a tunnel. It is assumed that the train is travelling at constant speed. The task is to calculate the length of the train.

Solving the problem requires the use of the formula for...

This interactive excel program allows students to explore the relationship between the transformation of functions and the associated graphs. Functions explored are straight lines, quadratic and cubic functions as well as sine and cosine curves. Each type of function...

This resource consists of four interactive excel files dealing with single transformations of 2D shapes.

Transformation: Enlargement...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Transformations covers: a review of the names and properties of common 2D shapes, translating by a vector, enlargements, reflections, rotations and combining transformations....

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at transits, eclipses and occultations. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of translations and vectors, from creating border patterns to working with vectors.

Translations and vectors pack one contains twelve work cards with a...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe the heating effect of current on a conducting wire.
• Predict changes to current through transmission lines using P = I x V. 
• Calculate power dissipated by a wire...

A transparent cube has a wire wrapped around it. The Top, Side and Front views are presented and then three cubes with wire are presented. The challenge is to determine which cube goes with the 2D views. A further challenge is to show the 2D representations for the remaining cubes. This resource is suitable for Key...

Produced by Practical Action, these materials contain ideas and support for students undertaking a CREST award. There are stimulus materials that help students look at an issue of sustainable development. These materials look at sustainable transport. In Nepal, the building of ropeways that allow people and farmers...

This animation allows students to view the key processes of plant transport in xylem and phloem. It is intended for both GCSE and A-level / post-16 biology teaching, and has sufficient detail and accuracy for both.

The cost of transportation is a key factor for many industries. This activity features a classic transportation problem giving the outputs of two suppliers, the demands of two consumers and the associated transportation costs. Students are asked to find the minimum transportation cost to meet the demand. Students...

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. The story-line for this unit is the whole world market for manufactured chemicals and the need to transport them safely to where they are needed. This shows the importance of systems which convey concise,...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The range of properties of chemicals.
* The use of symbols, formulas and balanced equations.
* The commercial importance of chemicals.
* Factors...
