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...

In this teacher presentation and collection of student worksheets, the area of each face of a cuboid is given. Students are then asked to calculate the volume.

Each student worksheet contains a different cuboid, but the solutions all have something in common. The teacher presentations highlights two possible...

This resource, from the Royal Institution, provides students with the opportunity to explore the formation of a parabola through a paper folding activity. Students follow a set of simple instructions which describe how to fold a piece of A4 paper and are asked to describe what shape is produced. The activity is...

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

This presentation introduces the Reuleaux Triangle and shows how to construct a curve which has a constant width, as well as Barbier's Theorem and the Isoperimetric Inequality. Three dimensional shapes are also investigated...

Cyclotomic polynomials are explained in this presentation, which uses a regular polygon to illustrate the complex roots of unity and establish which of those are primitive, before demonstrating some intriguing algebra.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), gives students the opportunity to develop their understanding of graphs in an engineering context. Students learn about dance floors that generate electricity and consider how output is linked to...

In this activity from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) students perform calculations and apply formulae to a spreadsheet of data collected by a data logger, in order to determine how many visitors to an aquarium at any one time.

The resource includes a presentation and teacher guidance.

This computing resource for primary schools introduces the concept of decomposition through dance. Using combinations of hand-jive, clapping or tutting, the lesson demonstrates how complex sequences of instructions (algorithms) can be broken down into smaller chunks. The children are challenged to look for patterns...

Designed to be accessible for all primary aged children, this activity guides you and your pupils through the simple steps to explore maths with gingerbread men. This could be carried out as part of a design and technology, computing (coding) or maths lesson, and is simple to follow, making it suitable for learning...

This resource develops the concept of finding the slope and equation of a linear graph defined by pairs of coordinates. There is also work on using the slope and y-axis intercept of a straight line to derive its equation.

The initial task for students to consider is to use proportional reasoning to calculate...
