Transformer output

The properties of a transformer are investigated in this video, specifically how the number of turns on the coils affects the output. 

Transforming 2D figures

This lesson develops the concept of transformations. In particular students will:

• Describe in words the transformation that maps an object to a transformed image
• Given a geometric figure and a transformation, draw the transformed figure
• Describe transformations as algebraic functions...

This text focuses on the difficulties that developing adolescents have in adjusting to life in the modern science and technology driven society. Middle schools were founded to deal specifically with the adaptive...

Fully updated to reflect the new curriculum, the revised edition of Transforming Primary Mathematics sets out key theories and cutting-edge research in the field to enable teachers to take a fresh look at how they teach mathematics.

The book encourages teachers to reflect on their own beliefs and values...

The report on the Building Schools for the Future programme made by the House of Commons Select Committee raises a series of issues and challenges. This paper focuses on the need to specify what education in the 21st century should be like and, moreover, how new technologies can act as a driver for transformational...

Transforming Shapes SS7

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to recognise and visualise transformations of 2D shapes and translate, rotate, reflect and combine these transformations. Students unfamiliar with the terms ‘rotation’, ‘reflection’ and ‘translation’ will need some introduction to these. The session also assumes...

Transforming Textiles

This Teachers TV programme is part of the series Inspirations, which documents imaginative school projects that make a difference.

The video shows how Stella O'Toole has succeeded in turning textiles into one of the most popular subjects at Heywood Community School. When Stella was employed by the schools...

This booklet is about the mathematical topic of transformations and how teachers might work with students between the ages of 8 and 13 years. A range of activities is included and no...

Transistors and the end of Moore's law

This video reviews how transistors work and introduces Moore’s law, i.e., the number of transistors fitted onto a chip increases exponentially with time. 

This means that the size of the transistor must reduce significantly.  However, as the buffer zone (prevents current flowing) between n-type...
