This game, for two players, requires students to move around a Cartesian grid using column vectors, collecting stars as they go. Each star is worth a different number of points. The winner is the player who can collect the most points.

From the Nuffield Foundation, the object of this module is to provide a simple introduction to the idea of a vector. Students need to be familiar with the co-ordinates module before starting this module. The development makes use of a number of simple (vector) grid...

This set of Cre8ate maths activities requires pupils to practice number operations, to search for pattern in number and to work and deepen with their arithmetic understandings. In Vedic multiplication, these understandings are developed into simple algebra. This topic follows on from Vedic maths one and explores...

In this puzzle, students are given diagrams showing different layouts of villages, roads and farms - acting as vertices, edges and regions. Students are given a series of rules and challenged to draw maps that meet a variety of different conditions.

This new curriculum resource from CensusAtSchool is presented at two levels of difficulty. This idea is relatively current as it links with the 'Da Vinci code' and the theory of the Vitruvian man as put forward by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519).

Volcanoes can be found on many planets and satellites in the Solar System, although not all volcanoes are the same as those found on Earth. It is the conditions on the planet and its composition that determine the shape of the volcanoes and the material that is erupted.

Students will use topography data to...

This resource contains 18 instant maths ideas providing students with the opportunity to: * explore the volume of cubes and cuboids * consider what constitutes doubling in size * explore the open box problem * work out the minimum surface area required for a solid with a fixed volume * explore how much water is...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Volume covers the concept of volume, the volume of a cube, the volume of a cuboid, capacity, density and the volume of a triangular prism. The initial file forms part of the textbook....

Published by BEAM this resource contains 21 activity cards on volume and capacity, which allow children to develop their mathematical skill by actively estimating, measuring and comparing capacity and volume. Developed by teachers, the cards help find a way of teaching which fits with the way children learn...

Students are presented with a start number. The teacher then controls the speed at which the next instruction is revealed. Students are required to multiply, find percentages, round to the nearest ten… The final page reveals the total students should have reached. The questions contained are appropriate to the...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The use of fuels in keeping warm
* The chemical changes when fuels burn
* Some consequences of the large scale use of fuels.

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources allow students to consider the problems of industrial waste disposal. In particular they focus on the biological treatment of industrial waste using air as a source of oxygen and problems that such biological treatment plants face.
