These activities use the challenge of finding a suitable geographical location for the BLOODHOUND SSC world land-speed record attempt as a context for teaching about interpreting graphs and diagrams.

The attempt aims...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

Sessions in this resource look at:

• Loci - kinds of loci (using rich collaborative tasks)
• Loci - distinguishing loci based on their conditions (using rich collaborative...

This interactive excel file allows students to investigate loci. Each of the interactive sheets enables students to see random points on or near the locus and how the locus is constructed. Loci include the locus of points equidistant from a point, from a line segment...

This resource consists of 12 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, providing students with the opportunity to explore loci and constructions using physical activities, by solving problems such as the goat and the shed problem,...

This MEI resource for complex numbers demonstrates loci in the Argand diagram. In the complex plane the horizontal axis are real numbers and on the vertical axis are imaginary numbers.

The excel file uses sliders to alter the position of the point on the plane. The point can be picked up and moved into all...

These paired activities, from Paul Curzon of the CS4FN team, offer an interesting slant on search algorithms and their relative efficiency.

Students are asked to consider sufferers of ‘locked-in syndrome’, a condition that leaves a healthy mind inside body that is, often, completely paralysed. If the...

This resource written by Shirley Fall focuses on constructing loci. There are eighteen cards with statements about an area of land centred on a four-sided field reputed once to have belonged to a notorious highwayman. Students are asked to discuss in groups and use the...

This resource contains six problems which require deep understanding of the working of logarithms. Students are required to develop questions which give a specific answer. It is likely that each student will provide a different solution. This presents an opportunity for rich discussion as students question and...

RISP activity Building Log Equations requires students to form equations given a set of cards and to determine, with examples, whether the equation is always, sometimes or...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. The logic resource covers, logic puzzles; introduced in this unit to help pupils think mathematically, two-way tables, sets and Venn diagrams and set notation. The initial file forms part...

This book, which forms part of the weaving series from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, is an introduction to logic in a very general sense.

Its main aim was to help students aged from about 8 to 12 to think clearly...

In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about four siblings to work out the days of the week their birthdays are on and what presents they received.

Once the students have read the story they have to extract the relevant information. They are then encouraged to enter into a...

In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about the individual days out of four work colleagues to determine where they went, what they did and who they went with.

Once the students have read the story they have to extract the relevant information. They are then encouraged to...

In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about four friends who meet up in the city centre to go shopping. The challenge is to determine which area of the city each friend lives in, what they purchased, and who they gave their purchase to.

Once the students have read the...

This series of logic puzzles require students to consider the information given, represent the information given and to think logically in order to solve the problems.

Here Kitty Kitty asks students to match which of Amelia's friends receive which kitten.

Let's race ...
