In this resource students are asked to perform numerical calculations in order to reveal parts of an image of an underwater volcano chain.

Students must correctly answer the question contained on each square to reveal part of the map hidden behind the squares, in order to find the location of the underwater...

In this resource students are asked to measure the distances between the seamounts and reefs on a map, convert their readings into kilometres, and plot the data on a graph to calculate the speed of the Australian plate.

The materials contain a detailed presentation, student worksheets and solutions.

In this resource students are asked to help a team of scientists to investigate Lexington Seamount, a newly named underwater volcano located in the Coral Sea, off of Australia's east coast.

Using multibeam mapping technology, scientists have been able to produce maps of extinct underwater volcanoes that have...

This collection from Teachers TV features videos which provide great lesson ideas and informative demonstrations of techniques used by secondary teachers in mathematics lessons at a variety of schools covering topics such as:

*circumference and diameter
*dynamic geometry
*investigations
*...

This resource contains a starter activity in which Key Stage Four which explores data analysis and what conclusions can and cannot be drawn from scatter graphs. This can be used to discuss correlation, trends, continuous and discontinuous data, extrapolation and lines of best fit. 

A series of wheels are shown that are in perfect ‘non-slip’ contact with their neighbours and driven by a first wheel. The diameter of each wheel is given. The final wheel has letters evenly...

Level 1 Fraction Question contains eight multiple choice questions requiring students to answer a variety of questions in different context requiring skills such as being able to find a fraction of an amount and express one amount as a fraction of another in its simplest form.

Level 2 whole number questions contains thirteen multiple choice questions covering the topics of calculation estimation, money, speed, fractions, percentages and order of operations.

In this Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, students are given opportunities to explore line painting through a practical approach, enabling them to appreciate the need to use algebraic reasoning in a visual setting.

The main themes are using and applying mathematics, constructing functions arising...

This resource is an interactive excel program to enable students to solve some different types of linear equations. Each interactive sheet begins with an example of how the student could write out each stage of the solution. Students can click on the cells which are...

Linear Programming involves creating a function that represents a real life problem. The aim is to optimise this function given certain constraints. Simple examples of linear programming will have few variables and constraints, however, real life situations will have many more variables and constraints that will...

This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to linear graphs. Some of the graphs contain proportional relationships, whist others show just linear relationships.

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources that explore Algebra and Maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

The resource is an introduction to linear graphs, leading to the link between the constants in the standard form...

These resources commisioned by the Qualifications and Curriculum Agency (QCDA) are to support the linked pair of mathematics GCSEs piloted from September 2010, which were developed in response to Professor Adrian Smith’s...
