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.

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.

To increase confidence and fluency, students need to spend time practising the basic definition and rules of logarithms and be able to apply the rules in more complex expressions. This resource, from Susan Wall, contains four advanced level activities designed to practise the basics and extend understanding of...

The activity allows the students to explore social, ethical, economic and health issues relating to the use of Nintendo Wii compared to doing real sports and present their findings in a persuasive, coherent and focused argument. Students identify arguments for and...

This contains two excel programs with interactive spreadsheets designed to show the graphical solution to pairs of simultaneous equations and provide their solutions.

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to the solution of simultaneous equations and demonstrates a rather unusual way of approaching the topic. The equations are largely restricted to equations where the coefficients are +/- 1...

This resource from Inquiry Maths is designed to stimulate exploration of the nature of simultaneous equations.

Simultaneous equations...

The first sheet of this interactive excel file provides students with calculations to confirm that ^a...

The investigation begins by looking at the area of three segments related to a quadratic. The investigation begins with a practical investigation using measurement of lengths and angles. The...

The Pacific island nation of Kiribati recently announced its purchase of land in mountainous Fiji for its population to move to when sea level rises make life on its own low-lying islands impossible. In this activity students use data to predict sea level rises, including uncertainties, and decide whether humans...

An equilateral triangle is shown that has been made using three toothpicks. Three further toothpicks are given and the challenge is to find a way of using them to create a total of four equilateral triangles the same size as the first one. This challenge is suitable for Key Stage 3 and ideal to use when teaching...

Aimed at primary level, this pack contains a range of different activities which take sixty seconds and are intended to stretch the imagination. The activities cover a mixture of topics including: materials and their properties, Earth and space, forces, living things and their habitats, mathematical puzzles and...

Produced by ARKive, this series of activities is designed to teach children about measurement and the different sizes of animal and plant species. Children compare their estimates of a species’ length to its actual dimensions and compare it to their own heights. In the first session, children work individually or...

This resource features a task that involves generating a sequence from 3D models and then finding an nth term rule.

Students investigate a sequence of towers built from cubes. There is a central column that increases in a linear pattern, and then four arms that are modelled using a quadratic sequence.
