The resource explores a number of activities to explore the mathematics contained within a pack of dominoes. As a starter, students are asked a series of questions about the number of dots on dominoes.

Hollow Domino Squares asks students to arrange dominos in the shape of hollow squares such...

This strategy game is a twist on the classic ‘Dots and Boxes’ but with no restrictions on the number of sides of the shape. Players take turns and the challenge is to try and enclose the greatest area possible. This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3.

This activity, for two players, is based upon the game of boxes. Students are presented with a partially completed game, with double brackets to expand correctly in order to gain extra edges. Solutions are at the bottom of the page for a player's opponent to check the validity of the solution. A correct answer...

This Pedagogics resource displays a quote from Dr Haim Ginott entitled "I have come to a frightening conclusion".

This logic problem involves two activities exploring what initially appear to be conflicting statements. In the first problem, a teacher draws horses on a sheet of paper and holds the sheet up to the class, asking ‘how many horses do you see altogether’. One student replies ‘three’ and is told correct, the second...

The four consultation documents here from QCA set out the subject criteria for first teaching in September 2012 for AS and A level in:
*Mathematics
*Use of mathematics
*Further mathematics
*Use of statistics

The Top, Side and Front views of shapes are given. The challenge is to make the shapes using cubes. As an extension, 3D representations of the shapes can be drawn on isometric paper. This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3 and could be used as an extension of the topic of 2D representations of 3D shapes.

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows how to build a mathematical model of liquid draining through a tank and how to use the model to determine the time required for a tank to completely drain. Bernoulli’s conservation of energy equation, which requires integration and differentiation, is...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of activities involving drawing, from investigating growing patterns to making ellipses by folding.

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.

By using this resource students will learn how to draw and format basic shapes in Word.

Students learn how to draw and format basic shapes in Word.

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

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

• Interpret and use scale drawings
• Use proportional reasoning
• Work with metric units

The initial problem is to construct and conversion graph to convert between measurements in the...

In this Christmas maths activity from the IET, children are tasked with making a brand new uniform for Santa's elves and calculating the number of possible outfit combinations.
