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

In this resource students learn about shape and space by designing a shape sorter. This activity may be particularly appropriate...

MEI GCSE Extension materials for shape, space and measure. Tasks are available on trigonometry, circles, Pythagoras’ theorem, loci, and vectors.

The materials are aimed at students who are working towards GCSE...

There are nine units, all at level four, in this book from Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics. Each unit provides information for the student to read and questions and activities for them to do. The units, which are in short sections, have detailed content...

The nine units, all at level five, in this book from the Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics series are:

Area and volume
Angles
Circles
All about boxes
Construction
Common sense measuring...

The level six units, from Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics, in this students’ book cover the topics of:

• Parallel lines
• Three dimensions flattened
• Area of simple shapes
• Quadrilaterals
• Volume
• Enlargements
• Drawing with Logo Circles, perimeter...

This shape, space and measures book at level seven, from the Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics series, was suitable for students following an intermediate GCSE course. It has nine units of work, each with information for students to read and questions and activities to do. The units, which are in short...

A cross-curricular programming activity, using loops in Scratch to draw patterns. Learners first design an algorithm to draw a simple 2D shape, and then use the 'repeat' block to generate artwork. It is advised that children have some prior experience of programming in Scratch. Experimentation and debugging is...

Published by LSIS, this case study looks at work performed by North Devon College. With support from the LSIS STEM Programme, the college created strong continuing professional development links with local secondary schools to enhance teacher subject knowledge and ease the transition for students progressing in...

Published by LSIS, this report describes a project by Salford City College. The project was set up to enable the maths team to develop interactive resources, share good practice and develop a database for GCSE maths. The project would enable tutors to meet and plan together to improve achievement.

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Solve a real world modelling problem
• Apply proportional reasoning

The problem is set in the context of a journey to school. Here are the features of the problem:

• Each day...

The Shell Centre has produced a range of innovative teaching materials for mathematics education, together with research publications and tests. Most of these were developed at the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education at the University of Nottingham, UK. The two collections, Numeracy through Problem Solving and...

This resource pack introduces the concepts of shelter and shelter deprivation around the world to students in Key Stage Two. It highlights the challenges people face in their daily lives when their homes do not provide adequate shelter. It linked to the curriculum areas of design and technology, geography and PSHE...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand proportional reasoning and how it relates to graphs.

The task is set in the context of making shelves by using planks of wood supported by three bricks at each end. Students investigate both the materials and costs involved for making different...

Through these resources, students investigate sewage tunnels that are being built under London and consider how society has changed over time, to identify the influences that have resulted in the needs for a new tunnel. Activities challenge students to use their mathematical skills to calculate critical dimensions...
