Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

In this presentation students are given a function and explore the mapping of natural numbers, as well as being challenged to find the inverse function. A link to the online encyclopaedia of integer sequences is provided for...

This activity, from the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM) publication ‘The Long and the Short’, contains two activities concentrating upon the process of counting and spotting patterns.

Students are presented with a number of rectangles. Each rectangle is constructed from adjoining squares made...

The skills of strategy, forward thinking and logical thought are ones which make a good mathematician. Students can learn these skills through certain board games. This resource, produced by the Centre for Teaching Mathematics at the University of Plymouth, contains playing instructions for six mathematical games...

Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study tackles the theme of progression through STEM subjects. It looks at a mentoring scheme set up by St Francis Xavier College to support students in mathematics. In the scheme, A2 students were paired with AS students and given advice about...

This activity gives pupils in key stage 2 the opportunity to plan, test and execute a simple mission on the moon. Throughout the session pupils will take it in turns to give commands and to navigate blindly across the lunar surface. Pupils will be taught to understand the importance of clear step by step...

From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity shows that it is not possible to be certain what the market will do next. The mathematical ideas covered are:
• Time series
• Percentage change
• Random walks
• Geometric...

A selection of resources, published by BEAM, for teachers of primary mathematics. It includes challenging problems, puzzles and resources to practise and consolidate students mathematical understanding of money and days of the month.

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

In this activity a set of numbers is referred to as multiple free if there is no pair of numbers in the set such that one is a multiple of the other and the challenge is to find the largest multiple free set from the first...

From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics for Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students shows how money which circulates has a greater effect than could be expected. The activity starts by students predicting on what they will spend their wages when they get a...

In this collection of number puzzles, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT), students are challenged to find the missing numbers using the information given.

Each puzzle follows the same format of where, in each column or row, the number with an arrow shows the sum of the numbers...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This presentation explores the effect of placing a single tile into an existing pattern which tessellates, referred to as a pearl tiling. New descriptions and notation are introduced and questions regarding regular polygons...

This resource by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) puts curriculum science into real-world contexts and provides a cross-curricular approach to salt.

Children undertake a range of hands-on investigations that look at the use of salt. This includes the use of salt to treat icy roads and...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Data Handling. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In the ‘Plumber's callout’ lesson, students complete data tables, then draw, read and interpret linear graphs where the...

Published by LSIS, this report gives interim findings from a programme investigating the gap between the numbers of learners studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in schools at A Level, and those studying in Further Education (FE). This interim report provides insight into barriers to...

This resource, written by Shirley Fall, has fourteen cards with statements about the likelihood of six different runners winning a race. Students are tasked with using the statements on the cards to determine who is most likely to win the race, with what probability, and in what sequence they would expect the...
