Nuffield Maths Teaching Project – Shape and Space
From the Nuffield Foundation, this collection consists of seven modules focusing directly on shape and space: angles, courses and bearings, symmetry, similarity, coordinates, topology, vectors and similarity 2.
Most modules consist of activity cards for students, hints for students for some of the cards and teachers' notes which contain suggestions for teaching approaches, answers and all of the student material.
The teachers' notes also show the structure of the student cards which, in most modules, are grouped into sets of cards. This was designed to support planning for students with differing prior knowledge and allowing for a range of attainment in the class.
The coordinates, topology and vectors modules each contain a sequence of questions for students to work through. There are teachers' notes which contain only little more than the answers to the student questions.

Topology
This module from the Nuffield Foundation introduces simple ideas of topology starting from informal considerations of topological transformations progressing to work on networks (the bulk of the content) and ending with an investigation into map colouring.
...Vectors
From the Nuffield Foundation, the object of this module is to provide a simple introduction to the idea of a vector. Students need to be familiar with the co-ordinates module before starting this module. The development makes use of a number of simple (vector) grid...
Similarity 2
From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of the module is to build on the Similarity module...
Area
This resource consists of seventeen work cards each requiring students to investigate some aspect of area and perimeter of shapes. Associated with each card is a student help sheet and comprehensive teacher notes detailing assumed knowledge for each task, the purpose of...
