In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the relationship between graphical, algebraic and tabular representations of functions, the nature of proportional, linear, quadratic and inverse functions and doubling and squaring. Students should already be familiar with algebraic symbols such as...

This resource develops the concept of using a distance time scatter plot, finding a function that links the variables, and then using the results to decide upon a rate. 

The resource is set in the practical context of distances and times a taxi cab takes for 40 journeys. The resulting scatter plot is used to...

This resource develops the concept of interpreting distance-time graphs.

Students work on a matching exercise that requires cards to be collected in sets of three; a distance-time graph, a statement, and a table of values. One of the ways this is done is by having cards that are ‘distractors’. For example,...

The initial question in this resource asks students to consider the equation y = 4x and say which is greater, x or y? Can they give reasons to justify their answer?

The lesson links algebraic equations to real-life situations. It also uncovers and addresses misconceptions concerning the meaning of variables...

This worksheet challenges students to gather information from graphs. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

This lesson develops the concept of interpreting multiplication and division. This includes working with calculations that involve non-integers. An outcome of the lesson is that students will be better able to select the correct operation to perform when solving word problems.

An initial activity has five...

This resource from Inquiry Maths investigates the connections between linear sequences.

Intersecting linear sequences...
