The opposite corners of a trapezium are joined, creating four triangles within the trapezium. The areas of the triangles formed using the parallel sides as is given. The task is to calculate the...

The first two interactive sheets deal with selecting objects from two bags. The outcomes are shown on tree diagrams and the probabilities can be revealed.

The next interactive sheet deals with the problem of passing...

This resource contains three instant maths ideas requiring students to solve a quadratic equation, discuss what is meant by a degree of accuracy and explore discontinuous curves. The resource materials include an explanation of Cardano’s method of solving a cubic of the form x³ +mx =n and using the...

A triangle is split into two parts by drawing a line from one side to the base of the triangle. The ratio in which the sides are split is shown for each of the sides connected by the line. The task is to find what multiple of the smaller triangle is the larger triangle.

The ‘something in common’ between each...

A circle is drawn that is tangent to the three sides of the triangle. The two constituent lengths of the hypotenuse are given and the challenge is to calculate the area of the triangle. When...

Royal Navy Search and Rescue helicopters provide cover to large sections of the UK coastline, offering support to coastguard services 365 days a year.

These materials from Defence Dynamics encourage the use of problem solving skills and knowledge of trigonometry to directly assist the Royal Navy in a series...

This resource is designed as a resource bank of questions to supplement the teaching element of the lesson. The questions require students to use Pythagoras' theorem in order to find whether a triangle is right angled and find the lengths of missing sides, and problems on 2D and 3D shapes.

The next section...

This resource consists of 15 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, requiring students to plot graphs of the trigonometric functions and explain their properties, explore Snell’s Law, convert gradients into angles, calculate the...

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.

Trigonometry covers: Pythagoras' theorem, trigonometric functions; an introduction to sine, cosine and tangent; calculating the length of sides of triangles and calculating the...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of trigonometry, from an investigation leading to Pythagoras’ theorem to using the sine and cosine rules.

Trigonometry pack one contains nine work cards...

Published in August 2014, this is the final report of the three-year evaluation of the Triple Science Support Programme (TSSP) and the two year evaluation of Triple Science Networks (TSN).
