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.

Graphs, equations and inequalities covers: linear inequalities on a number line, solving linear inequalities, a recap of the equation of a straight line, graphs of quadratic...

In this Bowland assessment task, students are required to plan a walking trip to Hilbre Island. Students are given information about when it is safe to walk to the island, how long it takes to walk there and the times of the high tides on the proposed dates of the trip. Students have to understand the problem, work...

This resource develops the concept of interpreting distance-time graphs.

Students work on a matching exercise that requires cards to be collected in sets of three; a distance-time graph, a statement, and a table of values. One of the ways this is done is by having cards that are ‘distractors’. For example,...

These case studies from Licence to Cook provide examples of activities and worksheets developed by lead practitioners to support the teaching of product evaluation in food technology.

[b]Word bank for evaluations sheets[/b] gives a table of sensory terms which can be used to help students select and use...

In this Bowland assessment task, students solve a puzzle known as a magic sum, in which the numbers 1 to 7 have to be placed in a grid such that both lines of numbers add to the same total. Students have to choose a logical way to solve the puzzle, make a conjecture then attempt to justify it. Students form...

This resource provides ten hours of independent project work in which students design and make a kinetoscope -  a strip of paper containing drawings on the inside of a drum- like cylinder, which spins to create a moving image.  Students will need to consider:

• What the drum will be made from, and how big it...

This Bowland assessment task is a very open task. Students are given lap times of the medal winners of the men’s team sprint cycling race from the 2008 Olympic games and are asked to create and answer two questions based upon the data provided. Students are encouraged to write questions which require a wide range...

In this Bowland assessment task, students interpret a graph to give advice upon whether the age gap between couples is acceptable or whether it is too large. Students use equations of straight lines and inequalities to help them reply to queries sent to the problem page. They are then asked to comment upon trends...

In this Bowland assessment task, students are presented with five rods of different lengths. Rods can be joined to make different triangles. Students are challenged to form as many triangles with as many different properties as possible. They are required to identify triangles, describe angles, justify their...

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

• Solve simple problems involving ratio and direct proportion.
• Choose an appropriate sampling method.
• Collect discrete data and record them using a frequency table.

A sheet...

A shop owner is to install a security camera in his shop to help prevent shoplifting. Students analyse a plan of the shop, using loci and construction to identify which shoppers are not in view of the camera and calculate what percentage of the shop is not covered. The second part of the activity requires students...

In this Bowland assessment task, students are presented with an accurate drawing of a smoothie bottle. The task is to design a box that will hold twelve bottles. Students are required to measure significant parts of the bottle and use the results to help design the box, draw the net of the box, label the dimensions...

In this Bowland assessment task, students are presented with the results of two surveys aimed at determining whether a new drink was preferred by teenagers or adults. The task is to determine whether or not the two surveys were fair and to suggest improvements to the method of testing. Students are required to show...
