These cre8ate maths materials have been designed to support the teaching of mathematics at Key Stage Three, but can be used at Key Stage Two and Key Stage Four, in the context of a beauty salon.

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Data Handling. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In the resource ‘Shorter by helicopter’ students plot graphs of real data to compare the straight-line distances between...

In this resource students are asked to plot graphs of real data to compare the straight-line distances between towns with the distance by road.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

A motif, seen on the floor of a cafe, prompts an investigation into whether or not it is possible to use the kite shapes to form an exact polygon and leads to some interesting discoveries.

The resource is designed to...

This resource features a task that involves finding an nth term rule for a quadratic sequence.

Students investigate a sequence of pavement patterns. The patterns are constructed with blocks arranged in a square at the centre, blocks arranged in smaller squares at each corner, and then a different colour of...

This resource features a task that involves finding an nth term rule for a quadratic sequence.

Students investigate a sequence of blocks arranged in square patterns. The sequence gives rise to a quadratic sequence. The task is to investigate the sequence and arrive at an nth term rule.  

The task can...

Siemens’ vision is to transform the everyday and inspire the next generation.  Siemens digital equipment and software, renewable energy, network infrastructure and healthcare solutions show young people the possibilities and great things that can be achieved in the world through engineering. As an employer, Siemens...

Siemens have created a number of high-quality engaging online interactive games and activities for pupils of all ages covering many aspects of the STEM curriculum.  Topics range from cybersecurity to carbon emissions; programming to dressing a site worker in appropriate personal protective clothing. Many of the...

This resource, from the Royal Institution, provides students with the opportunity to explore patterns in mathematics. The activity begins by considering observed patterns in number sequences and progresses to the concept of fractals, which is introduced to students through playing 'the chaos game'. Students...

This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This ‘sightseeing tour’ resource can be used as a...

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explores how communicating rapidly over long distances has changed a great deal since beacons were lit on hilltops. It introduces the science behind sound vibrations, and presents signals,...

The first five interactive sheets deal with various types of diagram involving similar triangles. Each sheet shows a clear diagram and a table of values. Lengths of line segments can be revealed to allow the student to calculate the scale factor of enlargement and 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.

Similarity covers: enlargement, similar shapes, linear scale factors, area scale factors, volume scale factors, maps and scale models.

The initial file forms part of the...
