This is a concept development lesson, designed to enhance how well students:

• Are able to use frequency graphs to identify a range of measures and make sense of data in a real-world context
• Understand that a large number of data points allows a frequency graph to be approximated by a continuous...

This resource features a task that involves interpreting functions that arise in practical situations.

Students are given the task of matching together worded descriptions, functions, and graphs. An example of a worded situations is a movie subscription where you get two movies free, but then you get charged...

This resource develops the concept of representing inequalities on a Cartesian coordinate grid. Students work with algebraic representations in a variety of formats and then shade the relevant areas.

An initial activity is to play a game ‘Hunting the target’. This involves students being given inequalities...

This is a problem solving lesson, intended to assess how well students are able to:

• Understand and calculate the conditional probability of an event A, given an event B
• Represent events as a subset of a sample space using tables, tree diagrams, and Venn diagrams

The problem is...

This resource develops the concept of what the different algebraic forms of a quadratic function reveal about the properties of its graphical representation. Particular attention is paid to:

• How the factored form of the function can identify a graph’s roots.
• How the completed square form of...

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...

The Researching Effective CPD in Mathematics Education (RECME) project was set up under the umbrella of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) in England, who provide these resources.

The project's aim was to provide advice, guidance and recommendations to be used by NCETM...

Subtangent's resources for mathematics include different types of isometric grids which can be printed, a set of lesson starter activities, a variety of worksheets to practice arithmetic skills and graph paper with axes and different quadrants labelled, all of which can be printed freely.

The lesson starters...

A series of resources from Defence Dynamics in which the teaching and learning of mathematics is put into a military context. Students' activity sheets show how important mathematical concepts are used in real-life situations by the armed forces. The resources are:

Bearings- students plan...

This report, by Dr Alison Wolf and published in March 2011, was commissioned to investigate the state of vocational education for young people aged 14 to 19. It was found that many courses offered very little value, offering no route to further education or prospects for meaningful employment.

Many...

This resource from SMILE consists of sets of question cards, which are differentiated by level, and include answers which can be photocopied onto the back of the card. They are best used for group work to promote discussion and collaborative learning. Different models...

Students are asked to write their name on squared paper, identify the right angles and count the number of right angles. Students then draw two mathematical shapes which contain right angles.

This activity from Cre8ate maths looks at the exciting mathematics connected with the regeneration going on in our cities. The three activities are based around the construction of rigid structures and provide opportunities for practical work and mathematical problem...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of STEM Ambassador Ross Wattie, a risk management coordinator at an international integrated energy company.

Ross is currently involved in risk modelling to simulate different scenarios and assess their possible impacts. He has also found that his...
