The Senior Mathematical Challenge (SMC), from the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT), is a multiple choice contest in which students are presented with five alternative answers, of which just one is correct. It follows that often students can find the correct...

The Junior Challenge, from the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT), is aimed at the top third of pupils in Year 8 or below in England and Wales, Year 9 or below in Northern Ireland and S2 or below in Scotland.

In this Teachers TV programme Joanna Postlethwaite, Head of Food Technology at John Cabot Community Technology College, sets Year Seven students the task of recording their eating habits for 24 hours. Megan and Ryan keep a video diary for the day, recording what they both eat at school and at home, producing some...

This seemingly simple prompt leads to a rich task which students can explore in a variety of ways.

Lesson notes 1...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand repeated percentage reduction.

The task begins with reducing the price of a jacket by 25%. The sale price of the jacket reduces by 25% on a further three occasions. A statement is made that ‘four reductions of 25% must mean the jacket is then free...

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

Sessions in this resource look at:

• 2D and 3D shapes (developing mathematical language)
• 2D shapes - naming and classification (using co-operative small group work)...

3-D

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of 3-D shapes, from folding nets to make cubes to making a dodecahedron.

3-D pack one contains seven work cards with a wide variety of activities...

This video resource from Teachers TV shows how the Woolwich Polytechnic School for boys, in south London, improves their students' 3D awareness by visiting local buildings, making paper shapes and exploring the algebra of origami. On a visit to London, Year Nine students discuss the shape and structure of City Hall...

This lesson resource provides teacher notes for delivering a lesson that places 3D Printing as a new and emerging technology. It looks at how 3D printers work and provides a student assessment.

The curriculum aims of this resource are:

  • To be able to identify and name common 3D shapes
  • To be able to identify and name features of 3D shapes such as vertices, edges and sides
  • To be able to name and identify the nets of common 3D shapes

Vocabulary covered in this...

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...

This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘volume’. Resources comprise:

  • Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem

  • Act Two: further relevant...

Parts of the turbine engines for the Gravity Jet Suit are made through additive manufacturing, through a type of 3D printing using sintering of powdered metal.  This process is explained in this resource.

This activity enables students to create 3D models that represent temperature data. Via a series of video tutorials students are guided step by step through the process. Tinkercad 3D modelling software is required to do this but is freely available online, as well as access to a 3D printer. Once printed the tactile...
