Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of geometry and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, those for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course and some apply to GCSE Higher Level students. The topics covered include the geometry of a circle, polar coordinates, the...

In this activity students are asked to construct a simple mathematical model to help decide whether or not the umpire has made the correct decision. Students are required to revisit and test assumptions made in their initial model, make estimates of likely uncertainty and apply their model to similar situations....

This lesson from Siemens uses an app to inform students about new technologies and the impact of automation, digitalisation, and electrification on individuals, society and the environment.  It is intended to address the 'evaluate' strand of the...

A resource from the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) online FE magazine which is aimed at educators interested in or teaching in the further education sector or post-16 education generally.

Odd one out, is an activity that aims to promote discussion and observation,...

This book, which forms part of the weaving series from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, is an introduction to logic in a very general sense.

Its main aim was to help students aged from about 8 to 12 to think clearly...

NASA's Viking Mission to Mars was composed of two spacecraft, Viking 1 and Viking 2, each consisting of an orbiter and a lander. The primary mission objectives were to obtain high resolution images of the Martian surface, characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface, and search for...

This resource explores different types or mineral deposits found in the Earth and focuses in particular on copper deposits called porphyry. A presentation looks at how these deposits are formed and mined. It then goes on to explain how geologists locate porphyry deposits using mapping, fieldwork, sampling,...

This resource produced by Siemens introduces the technology used to protect public health in smart buildings by way of an interactive online game.

A series of worksheets introduce viruses and bacteria and other activities allow students to model the spread of pathogens using glitter on their hands and...

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on numbers 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 particular...

This activity is designed as a ‘virtual mission’. Students will play the part of Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) scientists to the scenario of a possible asteroid impact with the Earth. By following the story of the mission (led by an automated powerpoint), students will apply their understanding of kinetic energy,...

One of the units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. Students work in groups to design and make a statue of a creature to welcome visitors to the classroom during the day.

This task asks students to work in groups to design and make a statue of a creature that will welcome visitors...

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.

Statistical diagrams covers: data collection; extracting data from tables, mileage charts and timetables; data presentation using stem and leaf diagrams, line graphs, tally charts...

In this activity, students explore how to use the sun to tell the time and employ a range of mathematical skills to understand the theory and to construct a sundial for themselves. The case study is contextualised through a video about sundials and an interview given by a gnomonist who explains how mathematics is...

In this Nuffield probability activity students play a bingo-style game. To maximize their chances of winning, students must decide which numbers are most likely to occur when three dice are thrown and the scores are added.
