This resource consists of 19 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, requiring students to: * name different solids * explore the cross sections of different solids leading to a definition of a prism * investigate polyhedral * draw...

In this resource students are asked to find the value of several calculations that involve addition, subtraction and the squaring of fractions. Students are asked to spot patterns and similarities within the questions in order to generalise. The investigation concludes bu using algebra to prove their conjectures....

This seemingly simple prompt leads to a rich task that can be developed in a number of different ways.

Lesson notes...

This resource from CensusAtSchool produces descriptions of modal pupils using the data taken both from the original CensusAtSchol data and Phase Two of the project. The task encourages students to discuss and think about the merits of using averages.

The mathematical topics of mean, median and mode are used...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these materials help students to gain an understanding of a number of scientific ideas through investigating how a refrigerator works. The key ideas covered include:
* liquids require heat to evaporate
* some gases can be liquefied at...
