This Bowland assessment task is a very open task. Students are given lap times of the medal winners of the men’s team sprint cycling race from the 2008 Olympic games and are asked to create and answer two questions based upon the data provided. Students are encouraged to write questions which require a wide range...

This SMILE resource contains one pack of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of ordering and rounding numbers, from rounding to the nearest ten to calculating upper and lower bounds for area.

Ordering and rounding contains twelve...

In this Nuffield investigation students study paper sizes in the A and B international series, exploring relationships within each series and between the series.

The key processes are:

This resource features a task that involves generating sequences, finding an nth term rule, and solving equations in a practical context.

Students investigate a sequence of square patchwork cushions designed using combinations of right angled triangles and squares. Students then derive nth term rules for the...

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

In this presentation the definition of a perfect number is explained and students are challenged to show that 496 is a perfect...

This resource, aimed at primary learners, links mathematics, art and science. Children explore how how the number of pixels affects an image and how images from space have become clearer as technology has advanced. They then...

Many topological graphs have edges that cross. The aim is to re-draw the graph in such a way that none of the edges cross. The task informs students they are required to design a printed circuit board and since the wires are not insulated they must not cross.

Planarity: presentation - an...

This resource features a task that involves modelling a practical situation using functions and then representing this with a graph.

Students are presented with a situation where tickets are to be printed for a show. Two companies give costings in terms of words. Students must model the situation using...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand Pythagorean Triples.

In the initial task students are given the Pythagorean Triples

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25) and (9, 40, 41)

They investigate the relationships between the lengths of the sides of the triangles that belong...
