This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains seventeen resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Algebra: Using Equations and Functions’. Each resource is an interactive Excel worksheet to encourage teacher-...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Algebraic expressions (exposing and discussing common misconceptions)
• Multiplying out brackets (using rich collaborative tasks)...

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

Algebraic manipulation covers: the difference between equations, formulae and identities, solving equations, using formulae and testing for identities. The topic continues by...

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of algebraic structure, from forming simple formulae to changing the subject of a formula.

Algebraic structure pack one contains nine work cards with a...

This booklet contains a number of very briefly described algorithms, which students are then expected to analyse, develop an algorithm for and then implement in a language of their choice. Each section contains success descriptors at three different levels which could be adapted to meet the requirements of an...

Alice and Bob in Wonderland are animations produced by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. They are based around the questions that Alice has about the physical world and how these can lead to "powerful ideas" in physics, such as energy-mass equivalence and relativity. Topics include time travel, the...

This puzzle contains five pieces of information about people shaking hands at a party. The task is to establish the number of people at the party and determine who shook whose hand.

Alien Invasion is a set of four interactive lessons about a full-scale alien attack that coincides with a class visit to Manford City. To set the scene and support the lessons, live television news bulletins, radio broadcasts and telephone messages help to develop the story line. The invasion leads to a series of...

This podcast from the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Planet Earth Online collection looks at invasive species of plants and animals. Many of them are well-known. Grey squirrels, harlequin ladybirds, buddleia, Japanese knotweed - the list goes on. Some of these aliens, or invasive species to give them...

These activities, from Eurostemcell, introduce students to the science of stem cells and explore four basic themes in stem cell biology: 1. What is a stem cell? – what stem cells can do; types of stem cell 2. Where do embryonic stem cells come from? – the blastocyst; cell culture; IVF 3. Why bother with stem cells...

In this project, students investigate and compare the waterproof and breathability properties of a range of fabrics used in clothing designed for sailing. They will find out about the different fabrics used in wet weather sailing gear. In particular, how breathable waterproofs work and what advantages and...

Machine learning is a system where rather than a computer programmer deciding the best way to sort, organise, classify or use information, the computer program develops its own set of instructions (algorithm) based on information that users feed it.  Scientists at the...
