In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students interpret frequency graphs, cumulative frequency graphs, and box and whisker plots, all for large samples, and then see how a large number of data points can result in the graph being approximated by a continuous distribution (GCSE Grades A - D)

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the relationship between graphical, algebraic and tabular representations of functions, the nature of proportional, linear, quadratic and inverse functions and doubling and squaring. Students should already be familiar with algebraic symbols such as...

This resource develops the concept of interpreting algebraic expressions, translating between words, symbols, tables and area representations.

Students work on tasks that require them to recognise the order of algebraic operations, recognise equivalent expressions, and understand distributive laws of...

This resource develops the concept of using a distance time scatter plot, finding a function that links the variables, and then using the results to decide upon a rate. 

The resource is set in the practical context of distances and times a taxi cab takes for 40 journeys. The resulting scatter plot is used to...

This task involves interpreting categorical and quantitative data.

There are five short tasks to complete on the following topics:

• Box plots
• Frequency graphs
• Median
• Probability

This task is from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret data and evaluate statistical summaries
• Critique someone else’s interpretations of data and evaluations of statistical summaries

In addition, the lesson highlights some of the common...

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,...

The initial question in this resource asks students to consider the equation y = 4x and say which is greater, x or y? Can they give reasons to justify their answer?

The lesson links algebraic equations to real-life situations. It also uncovers and addresses misconceptions concerning the meaning of variables...

This resource features a short task on distance time graphs.

Students initially consider a distance time graph that has journeys for a car and motorbike. They use the graph to find the distance between the car and motorbike for six points in time and then sketch the graph of the separation between the two...

This worksheet challenges students to gather information from graphs. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

This lesson develops the concept of interpreting multiplication and division. This includes working with calculations that involve non-integers. An outcome of the lesson is that students will be better able to select the correct operation to perform when solving word problems.

An initial activity has five...

This resource from Inquiry Maths investigates the connections between linear sequences.

Intersecting linear sequences...

This short booklet, from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, is for teachers of children from eleven upwards, whether in secondary or middle schools. It describes the aims of the Project as it affects these children, and so is complementary to the Introductory guide, I do and I...

This book is designed to help all those who wish to find out more about the language LOGO, a language intended to demystify computers and computer programming, and make the power of computers accessible to all.

A brief introduction to some basic commands is followed by An Outline to LOGO ...

Being financially capable means having the confidence, skills and knowledge we need to manage money well, now and in the future. The development of financial capability is life-long and includes the ability to adapt the approach to money management in response to changes in personal and financial circumstances....
