A shop owner is to install a security camera in his shop to help prevent shoplifting. Students analyse a plan of the shop, using loci and construction to identify which shoppers are not in view of the camera and calculate what percentage of the shop is not covered. The second part of the activity requires students...

This task is designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Construct lines of sight for the visibility of a camera
• Find and compare the areas of triangles and quadrilaterals
• Calculate and compare percentages and/or fractions of areas

A shop owner has...

Developed with funding from the Department for Education, these video clips show interviews with young professionals working in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) sectors. The films introduce some of the exciting careers that students may access by studying STEM subjects. The professionals...

This activity allows students to investigate how images are produced from data streams by using first a spreadsheet and then an image-processing program. They then go on to see how the usefulness of such a monochromatic image may be enhanced by using lookup tables and calibration. The materials used focus on the...

This resource features five short tasks that involves structure in expressions.

An example task is to simplify an expression that contains square roots.
