This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the range of human hearing, to explore the pitch and frequency of sounds and to calculate the wavelength of sounds.

Students need to be aware of the trade-off when the number of bits allocated to the mantissa and exponent are increased or decreased. This worksheet allows them to answer practice questions. Answers are provided.

How performance is ranked in sport is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Ranking plays a vital role in many sports, providing evidence for sponsors that a particular player, or team, is worth investment. Specific examples from cricket are provided and students learn...

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized, programmable computer which has been developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

OCR have been working in collaboration with Raspberry Pi and with leading practitioners to create resources that support the use of the Raspberry Pi in the classroom.

This resource details an activity where students set up their own network of Raspberry Pis in a classroom, using another machine as their server. As with all of these sorts of activities, it is highly recommended to work through the whoole activity first, downloading the required software ahead of a lesson and...

This document introduces students to the Linux operating system by allowing them to learn and use a number of shell commands using a Raspberry Pi computer. Activities allow them to gain an understanding of how resources are managed and levels of access controlled.

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

Ratio and proportion covers: equivalent ratios, direct proportion, proportional division; splitting an amount into a given ratio, linear conversion; masses, length, currency and...

This series of short tasks is designed to assess how well students understand proportional reasoning in practical contexts. The contexts featured include:

• Relating a photograph to its negative
• Water used by a washing machine
• Coffee powder and cups of coffee made
• Stamp...

This Practical Action resource enables students to consider the need to reduce the negative impacts of  products on the environment and people. It enables students to evaluate products throughout their lifecycle and learn about inspirational products, companies and access to sustainable design briefs. The...
