This resource requires problem solving skills to identify linear and quadratic relationships in a realistic context.

Students investigate covering square table tops with three types of tile; square tiles, half tiles, and quarter tiles. They create examples and then identify the resulting sequences.

Designed to be accessible for key stage two children, this activity guides you and your pupils through a range of fun and engaging maths challenges, using either real cupcakes or printable paper cakes. This could be carried out as part of a design and technology or maths lesson, and is simple to follow, making it...

This activity, produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, introduces students to the skills needed to examine a complex table of data and generate statements relating to the evidence. The activity will help students to: * extract information from numerical data, and identify any patterns and trends * link...

This lesson develops the concept of using trigonometry to model a real-world situation. In particular students will:

• Model a periodic situation, the hight of a person on a Ferris wheel using trigonometric functions
• Interpret the constants a, b, c in the formula h = a + b cos ct in terms of the...

In this activity, students are required to find the mean, median and mode from a data set, from a frequency table, from a grouped frequency table containing continuous data and from a grouped frequency table containing discrete data.

This resource is part of the Making Stats Vital collection from Jonny...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

In this presentation students explore non-periodic tiling patterns using templates of kites and darts, as well as discovering the many remarkable facts to be found in these tilings.

The resource is designed to explore...

The first activity in this resource asks students to consider x = 5 and answer the question ‘what value is y’? An initial discussion builds up understanding of graphical representations of linear equations.

This lesson develops solving pairs of linear equations by considering their graphical representations...

The Nuffield Foundation provide this resource where students use simulated stature data for men and women in eight countries to draw histograms and look for general results, as manufacturers need to take these into account when they design products. This is mainly intended as an introduction to the normal...

This resource focusses on measuring the lengths and widths of leaves from a tree, placing the data in a table and calculating the mean average of each. In this activity learners will measure the lengths and widths of six leaves from a single tree. They will place this data in a table and then calculate the mean...

This resource develops the concept of exploring variables in everyday situations. In addition, students work on finding unknown values from known values, finding relationships between pairs of unknowns, expressing relationships in the form of tables and graphs, and rearranging formulas. The central theme of the...

These PowerPoint presentations from MEI demonstrate a variety of methods which can be used to factorise polynomials. The techniques include factorising cubics and quartics by inspection; using a table and algebraic long division.
