This resource features a short task on different representations of functions.

Students are presented with a matching exercise in which they must link together equations, tables of values, worded statements, and graphs for both linear and quadratic functions.

This task is from the Mathematics...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the properties of quadrilaterals using flow charts.

"Flow charts show the order in which a series of events is to be carried out. They are used...

The resources in this collection use everyday contexts, such as the design of music venues and airports, to encourage students to consider how materials need be tested for their suitability for a specific job before engineers in construction projects can choose them. The tasks ask students to think about what...

There’s sound and music all around us! This programme has pupils exploring the science of music and sound, creating music and instruments with a range of found objects, and even finding music in unlikely places.

The activities are introduced with a quick objective and a preparation guide. Individuals or...

This resource, published at a time when teachers had become aware of the tremendous need for motivational topics in mathematics, gives students an appreciation of, and insight into, mathematics and helps adopt an experimental attitude to the teaching and learning of the...

This 'weaving guide’ from the Nuffield Mathematics Project prepared to show how the main themes such as Computation and structure and Shape and size could become interwoven in work on a particular topic. The title should really perhaps be 'The geometry of inner space'. The human problems involved might form another...

This series of activities from NASA are based on a weekly series of space science problems distributed to teachers in the US, from 2004 to 2010. They were intended for students looking for additional challenges in the mathematics and physical science curriculum, from ages 9 to 19 years.

The problems were...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at space weather. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic glimpses of modern...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. . Sessions in this resource look at: • Exploring right angles (using technololgy creatively and appropriately) • Shape - describing and visualising angles and lengths (encouraging reasoning rather...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. A range of sessions look at different aspects of space and shape. They illustrate a variety of teaching and learning approaches and allow practitioners to reflect and develop their skills....

This report, commissioned by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, investigates the role of technicians in the space industry. The aim of the project on which this report was based was to inform government policy towards technicians by investigating their duties, the skills they are required to have, and how employers...

This is a lovely film clip which will help a range of students to feel that they can choose a career in science. Dr Aderin Pocock is a Space Scientist and a Science Communicator, but she explains how she moved around from school to school and was told that she probably wouldn't be able to do anything academic due...

British ESA astronaut Tim Peake invites UK children to exercise alongside him as he trains two hours a day on the highest and fastest gym in the Universe – travelling at 27,600 km per hour and circling the world every 90 minutes. The triathlon styled challenge encourages schools to create their own ‘spaceathlons...

This resource focuses on addition bonds. Four equilateral triangles are joined in a lattice with a circle at each vertex. The numbers 1 to 8 must be placed in the circles in a way that ensures each triangle has numbers where the larger number is the sum of two smaller numbers. The resource is suitable for Key Stage...
