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

In this resource students deal with the problem of administering doses of a prescribed drug so that the body does not have too little or an excess of the drug. An understanding of half life is required. Students do not need to use more complicated formulae for...

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

This presentation investigates the value of π in different types of geometry and provides a link for students to experiment with Hyperbolic geometry. The classic definition of a distance function, or metric, is given and a...

This activity from the Institution of Engineering and Technology involves interpreting and using hieroglyphic symbols for simple mathematical functions.

Pupils will discover how the Ancient Egyptians used a decimal system using 7 different symbols for numbers up to 1,000,000, They will learn how to write...

This resource combines understanding of the natural world with maths skills, to create a map and guidebook of the local flora and fauna. In this activity learners will work together to gather information about local flora and fauna. They will create a map with coordinates showing the location of plants and animals...

In this activity, primary pupils make use of the theme of the King’s coronation to design a stone garden in the style of a flag or other item to commemorate the event. They will consider the design brief for the criteria, use a template to produce a design on paper, consider the scale for the final display and...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to the idea of creating a rule that can be used to create tessellated patterns, thus understanding what is required to make interlocking units.

This resource develops the concept of a mathematical understanding of slope. This is done through linking students’ intuitive understandings of steepness to a more precise mathematical calculation of slope.

The resource begins by presenting students with four cards showing line segments, and a further four...

In this resource students are given four coordinate points and asked to find the equation of the lines that connect them. The four lines intersect to form a rectangle- can students find the area of the rectangle?

Each student worksheet contains different coordinate points, but the solutions all have...

This problem is an interesting variation on ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. All three bears start eating their porridge at the same time but at different rates. The time is given for Daddy...

The equations of two intersecting lines are given. The challenge is to use Pythagoras’ theorem to show that the triangle formed by the lines and the y-axis is a right-angle. The point of intersection is determined by solving simultaneous equations.

Each example is derived from a pair of perpendicular lines....

The graph of a cubic function with three real roots is drawn. A circle is then drawn so that the circumference of the circle passes through two adjacent roots. A tangent to...
