This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This ‘sightseeing tour’ resource can be used as a...

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explores how communicating rapidly over long distances has changed a great deal since beacons were lit on hilltops. It introduces the science behind sound vibrations, and presents signals,...

The first five interactive sheets deal with various types of diagram involving similar triangles. Each sheet shows a clear diagram and a table of values. Lengths of line segments can be revealed to allow the student to calculate the scale factor of enlargement and the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Similarity covers: enlargement, similar shapes, linear scale factors, area scale factors, volume scale factors, maps and scale models.

The initial file forms part of the...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to a study of the properties of similar figures as a first step on the way to a study of trigonometry. Hence the workcards involve the practising of the mechanics of enlargement, becoming...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of the module is to build on the Similarity module...

This resource contains two instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter activities, extension work or as probing questions to assess understanding. The activities provide students with the opportunity to consider what is meant by the term congruence, what properties two triangles must share in order for the...

This SMILE resource contains one pack of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of similarity and enlargement.

Similarity and enlargement contains fourteen work cards requiring the students to investigate similarity of different sized...

This activity teaches children how to use a protractor. It includes three protractors that are used to progressively build up to a 'real' one. The protractors are designed to be printed onto acetates and cut out to build up a full protractor showing all the divisions.

Provided by mathsicks, the resource...

Students use algebraic and spreadsheet formulae in Excel to calculate simple and compound interest.

This resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.
