In this lesson students develop their estimation and proportional reasoning skills, developing a sense of scale of large ...

This resource focusses on producing a tally chart to record and analyse data about favourite colours. This activity introduces tally charts to the pupils as a really quick and easy way of recording data. They will learn how to produce one and how it can be used to find out the favourite and least favourite colours...

Following on from the resource ‘Indices’, this resource from Susan Wall contains four activities designed to explore the rules of indices as well as differentiating and integrating functions containing indices. 

The rules of indices with...

The activities in this book from Polygon Resources focus on shape and space. They are particularly designed to give students experience of designing and making solid objects and time to consolidate their ideas about solid shapes and their properties. Many of the activities require practical equipment such as...

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...

With a population of over eight million and many people commuting to London for work every day, transport is a key issue for everyone.   Modern technology has developed to cope with the movement of such large numbers of people. However the reliance on combustion for transport over time has resulted in problems of...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these materials look at nuclear fission and nuclear reactors.

The activities examine the trend in reactivity of the metals in group II of the periodic table and includes a brief study of isotopes in relation to nuclear fission and nuclear...

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

• Interpret a situation and represent the constraints and variables mathematically
• Explore the effects of systematically varying the constraints
• Interpret and evaluate generated data and identify the...

This task consists of three activities and provides students with the opportunity to explore the use of mathematics in a travel and tourism context. Students adopt the role of newly-appointed managers at a travel company and are required to plan a tour of the UK, choosing the destinations, transport and...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry students’ books were not intended to be conventional textbooks, or background books, or books of data. The books were deliberately left in many ways incomplete. The aim was to provide students with a series of starting points from which to explore the chemistry at advanced level....

These materials, produced by the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) for the primary extension of the Mathematics Enhancement Programme, include the pages from Practice Book 1a with detailed lesson plans and all necessary resources to accompany them....
