Architect’s skills, from Cre8ate maths, will develop the process skills involved in understanding and making sense of mathematical information. Students have to give unambiguous descriptions to enable their partner to build an identical copy of a hidden shape, whilst the partner has to listen and interpret the...

The first two sheets of this excel file remind students of terminology associated with circles and the formulae for area and circumference of a circle. The next five sheets deal with finding the arc length as a fraction of the circumference with worked examples of the...

This toolkit, from the Plus magazine's collaboration with Arctic Survey Education, explores the navigational aspects of the expedition, including questions surrounding cartography and Global Positioning (GPS) systems. The toolkit can be download as a whole or as individual components. The individual components are...

This resource consists of seventeen work cards each requiring students to investigate some aspect of area and perimeter of shapes. Associated with each card is a student help sheet and comprehensive teacher notes detailing assumed knowledge for each task, the purpose of...

This matching exercise consists of six shapes, six perimeters and six areas . The shapes are an isosceles triangle, a square, a compound shapes made from two rectangles and compound shapes made from a rectangle and a triangle. Dimensions are provided on the diagrams of the shapes, however, in some cases extra...

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

Sessions in this resource look at:
