This resource for Key Stage Three and Key Stage Four students provides some statistics about the eating habits of children in Italy and asks students to compare and contrast these with their own eating habits. Through this activity, students have to interpret charts and graphs, plan how to collect data and design a...

In this teacher presentation and collection of student worksheets a pair of simultaneous equations is given, one of which is non-linear. A second pair of similar simultaneous equations is given; that has the same solutions. Students are challenged to explain why.

Each student worksheet contains different...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to the differences between analogue and digital communication. An analogue signal can be rendered useless by small amounts of interference, whereas a digital signal remains...

In this activity, students use data on electricity consumption to investigate how average values are calculated. They also consider how accurate a source of published data is and whether it may contain bias.

...

This extension activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), follows on from the How Much Waste?...

In this resource, from the DfES Standards Unit, students learn to define a sequence using the
general form of the nth term, define a sequence inductively, recognise and define an arithmetic and a geometric progression and to reflect on and discuss these processes. Students should have some understanding of...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of analysing and interpreting data, from reading information from a bar chart to interpreting cumulative frequency graph.

Analysing and interpreting data pack one...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to help students to:

• Overcome common misconceptions about probability
• Count equally likely outcomes using diagrams
• Discuss relationships between theoretical probabilities, observed outcomes and sample sizes

...

A number system of symbols is presented in three additions. The initial problem is to work out what each symbol represents and then to find out how to count from 1 to 20 using the symbols. This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3.

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of angle, from identifying right angles to working with bearings.

Angle pack one contains eight work cards with a wide variety of activities covering...

Connect 4: this activity requires students to choose a diagram and use their knowledge of angle facts to find the size of the desired angle. Player one answers their question then finds, and shades in with one colour, the answer on the answer grid. Player two then takes their turn, shading their answer using a...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of angle properties, from investigating the sum of the angles in a triangle to calculating the size of angles in a circle, and a separate booklet of geometric facts.

...

This investigation covers two circles theorems through one demonstration. The theorems are:

• That the angles on the same arc forming a chord are equal

• That the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the arc when drawn from the same chord

The initial...

This resource consists of 22 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, requiring students to: * know the names of different kinds of angles * demonstrate the use of angles using physical activities * explore the angles associated with...

This resource contains a collection of dynamic and interactive spreadsheets designed to illustrate teaching points on the topic of angles.

The first sheet provides screens on the following:
