This resource is a teacher booklet that discusses how symmetry is possibly the most significant and elegant connection that transcends the boundaries between art, science and mathematics. It surrounds us in the natural and artistic world, particularly in Islamic art, and in formations made with polygons and the...

This interactive online game from Siemens sets students a series of challenges to design a roller coaster which needs to reach the end of the ride and at a safe speed. Students use problem solving and mathematical reasoning skills to change some of the track features and see how this affects the speed of the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Formulae covers: substitution into simple formulae, substituting positive and negative numbers into more complex formulae using BODMAS, solving simple linear equations, solving...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about formulae, equations and amount of substanceat A level. Curriculum links include formulae, equations, amount of substance, mole, yield, atom economy, percentage composition, titration, and calculations.

Although produced to...

This activity is based on the work being carried out at The University of Oxford where researchers are using x-ray tomography (CT scanning) to visualise and measure the 3D structures of fossilised organisms that are still encased in rock.

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts covering physical quantities and units, measurements and data analysis, uncertainties, scalars and vectors.

Although produced to support the teaching of OCR AS and A Level Physics A specifications (H156, H556) ...

This National Strategies Study Plus unit has been designed to cover a number of areas of mathematics, particularly work with number and algebra. It also addresses a range of learning styles along with links to literacy and ICT through the use of spreadsheets.

Using the topic of fractals, studnets explore...

This activity requires students to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a fraction. Students perform calculations, the answers to which are converted into code words. Questions are in three groups: addition and subtraction of fractions,...

Fraction Matcher gives students the opportunity to explore the concept of fractions. The “Fractions Screen” contains eight levels of matching fractions using fractions less than one up to improper fraction representations for fractions greater than one. The “Mixed Number Screen” concentrates upon fractions greater...

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on fractions and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years.

Each section offers an overview of a...

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.

Fractions and percentages covers: a review of equivalent fractions; finding fractions of quantaties; operations with fractions; fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents;...

These learning objectives were produced to help teachers plan for progression for students aged 11-16, as part of the National Strategies Framework for secondary science.

Components:...

This Framework was produced in 2002 by the Key Stage Three National Strategy to provide advice on meeting the National Curriculum requirements for science, and to be used alongside the exemplar publication, Science: a scheme of work for Key Stage Three (for students...
