A polygon of side length two is shown with a circle circumscribing its vertices. A second circle is shown with the sides of the polygon tangential to the circle. The challenge is to calculate...

A unit circle is marked off in equal arc lengths. The resulting points are joined back to a single point. The challenge is to find the products of the lengths of the chords drawn in each circle...

A triangle is split into two parts by drawing a line from one side to the base of the triangle. The ratio in which the sides are split is shown for each of the sides connected by the line. The task is to find what multiple of the smaller triangle is the larger triangle.

Set in the context of the construction industry, this resource supports students to understand more about how they might respond to a question in an interview situation, using the STAR technique.

In this lesson students will develop an understanding of finishes that can be applied to timber to enhance their properties. Students will complete a finishes worksheet throughout the lesson; creating future revision notes. Lessons learnt knowledge will be tested in a series of exam style questions with provided...

In this resource, students consider whether two Poisson distributions can be added together to form a third Poisson distribution. The initial, discussion generating proposition is backed up by a proof. The resource also contains an accompanying spreadsheet on which students can run simulations to test the result....
