A resource containing six instant maths ideas which explore different kinds of rounding, to whole numbers, to a number of decimal places and to a number of significant figures. There are a number of resource sheets containing examples of decimals to be used with the tasks, a resource for exploring fractions,...

This resource contains two interactive excel files which deal with rounding of discrete and continuous variables and pose problems involving practical examples of calculations using rounded values.

Rounded Numbers: Bounds The first interactive sheet shows two numbers rounded to the nearest...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students work together to round numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1000. They make generalisations from the results obtained. Students should have some awareness of place value. (GCSE grades E-G)

Students' misconceptions when rounding to the nearest 1000 is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. It illustrates how, when asked to round a value to the nearest 1000, some students mistakenly round to the nearest 10, then the nearest 100 and finally to the nearest 1000...

The aim of the route inspection problem is to find a route that is as short as possible yet goes down every road once and returns to the starting point. The task informs students that there has been a heavy snowfall overnight and that the students are required to clear the roads in the town centre as quickly as...

Roving with Rosalind is an education and outreach project which presents Mars mission based classroom activities for secondary schools as well as activity groups. This collection of resources is funded by the UK Space Agency, and give students the opportunity to complete activities such as deciding a...

This collection contains a selection of activities, suitable for STEM projects. Themes include a mission to Mars, drones, engineering at the movies and deployable structures.

In this Bowland assessment task, students are shown a picture of one of the clock faces from the Royal Liver building that was once used as a table. Students are asked to estimate how many people could sit around this table. The diameter of the clock is given in feet so that the circumference can be calculated....

This set of resources, from The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Life Support Team, is aimed at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics teachers at Key Stage Two to Four. The resources use the essential work of the RNLI to provide a real-life context for students to explore key STEM topics and...

These Cre8ate maths activities draw on the mathematics of combinatorial thinking and involve a set of functional maths activities.

These resources were developed by the South East Physics Network SEPnet. They include a resource with multiple activities that focus on topics in the Key Stage Three and Four Physics syllabus and a number of resources that use different sports as a context to engage students in scientific investigation.
