This set of resources support the physical game Megawatt - Discover Energy. This straightforward card game introduces pupils to the different ways electricity can be generated, the power each method generates and its environmental impact. It is suitable for pupils aged 11 plus, but an educator would have to help...

This resource features two short tasks that involve finding multiple solutions to equalities and inequalities.

The first task is to find two solutions to

x² = 121

The examples then increase in difficulty, with an example being to find two solutions to

(x – 1)(5x⁴ –...

The teacher's notes for Nuffield Advanced Mathematics were designed to help teachers organise and to support their work with students.

The student materials were designed to support a flexible approach to teaching and...

The Nuffield Advanced Physics Teachers’ Handbook was intended to give teachers an overall view of the Physics course, to assist them in planning their work and in making provision for such things as apparatus, books, and methods of assessment. It also offered...

A square-based dotted grid is given. An initial investigation involved drawing triangles on the grid and determining the area, number of dots on the perimeter, and number of dots enclosed by...

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.

Polygons covers: basic angle facts, angle properties of polygons, a revision of the symmetry of simple objects, the symmetry of regular polygons and the properties of...

This resource focusses on probability, using the act of taking an item of fruit at random from a bag. In this activity learners will develop understanding of the possible outcomes of simple random events. They will also understand that there is a degree of uncertainty about the outcome of some events. The teacher...

Growing plants on the International Space Station (ISS) is an important research area as it has the potential to help future exploration. In this activity, children consider the different factors that impact the growth of plants...

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. Probability covers: the probability scale, the probability of a single event, the probability of two events, tree diagrams, theoretical and experimental probabilities. The initial file...
