This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Estimation and approximation covers: rounding to the nearest 10,100,100, rounding to significant figures, rounding to decimal places, estimating calculations by rounding to one...

This resource begins with estimating by rounding to significant figures, then deals with estimations and predictions in real life scenarios. Fermi estimation is then introduced. The question ‘Is climate change happening?’ is also posed.

This practical activity explores beak adaptations in bird populations and looks at the way in which variation in beak shape is related to the available food sources within an environment. Using different tools to model different beak shapes children are provided with different kinds of food to pick up. The...

Produced by the Wellcome Trust, this issue of the Big Picture looks at the physiology and sociology of exercise and movement.

For humans, movement is for more than just basic survival. They move for fun, to compete and to be healthy. This resource looks at the biological systems that keep humans moving and...

Exercises and Practice contains nine resources. Each resource contains a number of activities for use in the classroom designed to provide students with practice of a variety of mathematical skills. The topics covered are arithmetic, coordinates, mensuration, rectangles and pyramids, circles, trigonometry and...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that energy is conserved during an exothermic reaction.
• Describe how the temperature of the chemicals will change with time after an exothermic reaction.

On 14 January 2005, the European probe Huygens entered the atmosphere of Titan - one of Saturn's moons. Based on this major event in space exploration, ESA offers a cartoon-style teaching aid with fact sheets for teachers to use in the classroom. The factsheets are available for use with different aged students -...

This computing activity introduces pupils to algorithms, gives them the opportunity to programme bee-bots and to use an internet search engine to find information, pictures and sounds. Pupils will build on their Year 1 computing knowledge throughout the activity and are able to work as part of a small team. This...

e
This file has five sheets. The first shows how the value for e is derived from the binomial series for (1+x)^...

This package of Core Maths resources introduce students to exponential growth and decay by exploring exponential functions, compound interest for savings and depreciation of assets.

Exponential Growth and Decay: Teacher Guidance

This teacher guidance contains information including...

This resource features ten short tasks relating to expressions and equations.

An example gives a series of expressions and poses the question as to which has the greatest value when a negative number is substituted.

This task is from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration between...

This collection contains resources from the website 1001mathproblems.com by Sian Zelbo. The topics covered include factors, multiples, primes, and common factors. Each topic is introduced in the form of a puzzle, many of which have several different...

In the factors, multiples and primes activity students are required to use their knowledge of the properties of numbers to solve a puzzle. There are thirty three sequentially numbered figures to be shared between six teachers. The first has all factors of 36, the second has all prime numbers, the...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Cars on the move’. This X Unit provided enough material for eight double periods. It could be selected to complete either a Science or a Further Science course.

The teachers’ guide included 10 worksheets to supplement the students’...
