This resource from Defence Dynamics outlines the role played by the Meteorological Office (Met Office), an executive agency of the Ministry of Defence, in providing international weather forecasts and severe weather warnings. Using Met Office data and a case study of Hurricane Katrina, students learn how graphical...

This resource is an interactive excel program to enable students to investigate the solution of polynomial equations up to cubics using a graphical method.

The program shows the graphs of cubic equations and the...

This program allows students to solve pairs of equations by drawing 2 graphs and looking at the points of intersection. The graphs can be cubic, quadratic or linear. The 1st interactive sheet allows students to plot pairs of graphs by changing the coefficients of y=ax...

Students are asked to design and make a logo to promote anti-bullying that is suitable for production in all sizes and with a wide range of media. To begin students are asked to identify existing logos through a logo game app. They consider the moral issues of creating an anti-bullying logo and who it could support...

A Nuffield design hexagon task focusing on a range of graphics products. The resource aims to extend understanding of how to evaluate a design by thinking how it affects people and whether it performs as expected. This resource contains a number of activities for each side of the design hexagon (student pages and...

A set of design guides for Key Stage Four focusing on graphics products providing a straightforward way for students to become familiar with the sorts of questions they should ask when designing for a particular focus area.

The design guides can act as a stimulus for students who are having difficulty in...

Graphing Lines gives the opportunity for students to explore the parameters of a linear equation; how modifying the graph affects the equation and how modifying the equation affects the graph. Students can draw reference lines y=x and y=-x to help with their deliberations. Students may change the point of...

The ‘Graphing Stories’ collection is a collaborative project run by Dan Mayer and the ‘BuzzMath’ team. Each story comprises a video that shows a practical situation where a measure, such as height or weight, varies with time. The situation is then replayed at a slower rate to help enable the viewer to assess more...

We rely on electric circuits every day, in our homes, schools and places of work, as well as in our portable gadgets and kitchens. In this activity, a circuit drawn by a pencil conducts electricity to light an LED.

You’ll need to get hold of an LED, some wires and crocodile clips – these are all available...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Introducing graphs of linear equations (using rich collaborative tasks)
• Finding the equation of a tangent to a curve using...

This Instant Maths Ideas resource contains three files: Co-ordinates and Straight-line Graphs contains ten instant maths ideas including drawing pictures using coordinates, finding equations of straight lines, exploring the gradient of parallel lines, investigating the gradients of perpendicular lines, open-ended...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. This resource covers the drawing of graphs and hence the formation of cartesian axes and plotting points including: scatter graphs, plotting points using coordinates, negative numbers on...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of graphs, from simple mappings to identifying quadratic graphs.

Graphs pack one contains fifteen work cards with a wide variety of activities covering...

This Durham Maths Mystery is designed to extend high achieving GCSE students and for use with students studying mathematics post-16.

Task 1A: students are presented with a blank three by three grid and twenty fact cards. Students have to use the clues on the fact cards to help them sketch...
