From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that the efficiency of a river can be measured using the hydraulic radius; this depends on the cross-sectional area of the river and the wetted perimeter of the...

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these activities allow students to investigate the Earth's structure and plate tectonics. Activities include simulation of density contrasts in the earth's structure, earthquakes and seismic waves, ocean floor spreading and continental drift.

This resource contains many examples of different kinds of geometric pattern. The introduction begins with border patterns; simple patterns which are easily reproduced by students.

This is followed by examples of tile patterns. Geometric patterns 3 to 6 are concerned with cyclotomy; the division of a circle...

This excel file allows students to explore the successive terms of a Geometric Series. The first term and the common ratio can be altered and the successive terms and sum of the series shown on bar charts. The formula for the sum of a Geometric Series is derived and the...

This series of interactive excel sheets help investigate geometric series and progressions.

The first sheet generates the terms of a geometric progression, for |r| ≥ 1, and the value of a further term. A new sequence...

Five squares are given. Each square contains a pattern of squares or triangles that become smaller and smaller until they are infinitely small. The challenge is to work out what fraction of each square is shaded. The challenge provides an introduction to the concept of geometric progressions and the idea of a limit...

There a series of short tasks designed to assess how well students understand a range of geometric concepts, including Pythagoras’ theorem.

• Other topics covered comprise:
• Circumference of a circle
• Area of a rectangle
• Angle measure
• Angles at a point

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of geometry often used in the field of engineering. They include the gradient and intercept of straight line graphs, polar coordinates and converting degrees and radians.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for each resource are provided,...

Mathcentre provide this resource which covers the slope intercept form, an aspect of geometry that involves the gradient and vertical intercept of a graph, which can be established from the terms of a linear equation.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions are provided, together with relevant diagrams...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of geometry and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, those for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course and some apply to GCSE Higher Level students. The topics covered include the geometry of a circle, polar coordinates, the...

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on geometry and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years.

Each section offers an overview of a...

This resource consists of two interactive excel files dealing with some aspects of construction and geometric proof.

Perpendicular Bisectors...

The purpose of this lesson is for students to understand the need for, and means of, infection control, as well as what an epidemiological study is and how it can used in disease prevention, exploring both the roots of epidemiology in London and its continuation in the city today.  Students also set up an...

Students are presented with two pie charts, one showing the number of letters in words in a sample of English text, the other showing the number of letters in words in the same sample of text written in German. Students are also given another sample of text showing the number of letters in each word but with the...

These activities were designed to introduce students to different sectors in engineering.
