This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at transits, eclipses and occultations. 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...

This lesson develops the concept of converting between and ordering fractions, decimals, and percentages. The lesson uses area and linear models of fractions, decimals, and percentages to understand equivalence.

The main activity is a collaborative exercise. Students must collect together cards that show a...

This lesson develops the concept of translating between decimal and fraction notation, particularly when decimals are repeating. This is achieved by

• Creating and solving simple liner equations to find the fractional equivalent of a repeating decimal
• Understanding the effect of multiplying a...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of translations and vectors, from creating border patterns to working with vectors.

Translations and vectors pack one contains twelve work cards with a...

A transparent cube has a wire wrapped around it. The Top, Side and Front views are presented and then three cubes with wire are presented. The challenge is to determine which cube goes with the 2D views. A further challenge is to show the 2D representations for the remaining cubes. This resource is suitable for Key...

The cost of transportation is a key factor for many industries. This activity features a classic transportation problem giving the outputs of two suppliers, the demands of two consumers and the associated transportation costs. Students are asked to find the minimum transportation cost to meet the demand. Students...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of transportation planner, and STEM Ambassador, Dan Cornelius.

Dan's role is to assess road schemes and their impacts on local and regional areas. He develops graphic models of the situation and location. This allows him to manipulate elements, such...

The opposite corners of a trapezium are joined, creating four triangles within the trapezium. The areas of the triangles formed using the parallel sides as is given. The task is to calculate the...

This interactive excel program covers distance/time and velocity/time graphs.

The first interactive sheet shows a distance/time graph made of line segments and some questions relating to speed for each segment and the...

This resource focusses on position and direction using vector and polar coordinates, with the theme of a pirate treasure map. In this activity, learners will look at different methods to find position and direction on a map. They will learn how to use coordinates and bearings using angle and distance. Alongside...

The first two interactive sheets deal with selecting objects from two bags. The outcomes are shown on tree diagrams and the probabilities can be revealed.

The next interactive sheet deals with the problem of passing...

In this resource from the Construction Youth Trust, students are asked to create loci and constructions when working with trees on a construction project. The materials have been written to help a non-teaching STEM professional to work with students in an educational setting.

The resources comes with a...
