Two resources from SMILE Mathematics containing ideas which can be used for assessment. Revision for GCSE Through Groupwork consists of a number of cards which groups can use to test their knowledge. The Question Cards for Assessment consist of statements describing the mathematics being assessed together with...

The questions in this framework can help governing bodies identify areas to celebrate or challenge in their schools, enabling them to work with their senior leaders to drive improvement. This framework aims to enable governors to perform at their best, exemplifying an approach which could benefit all curriculum...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore the mathematics behind queuing at a shop till.

"Queuing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. In queuing theory, a model is...

Mathcentre provide these resources, which cover a selection of the mathematics which students may need to review, to support their progress in their chosen programme of study. These resources are designed to outline techniques or formula which students can use independently to revise a topic briefly, and then...

This infographic guide to teaching 11-16 year olds uses the RADAAR (research,...

This very successful citizen science project is run annually by the RSPB. It is an ideal opportunity for pupils of all ages to identify different bird species and count the numbers they see in the school grounds. Details about the competition and the RSPB supporting materials can be found...

In this Cre8ate maths activity students learn that a simulation is a model of a real situation. Data for the birth rate of rabbits is provided and is used by students to develop their own model to simulate the breeding of rabbits in a field and consider the likely damage to the farmer’s crop. Initially this is done...

This activity booklet uses the real life context of air traffic control using radar signals to identify the position of an aeroplane that students act out. It provides them with an opportunity to use their knowledge of waves and speed = distance / time to calibrate and calculate the distance a plane is from the...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at radiation, and will make the student familiar with many forms of radiation, how it is measured, and what different doses can lead to over time. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

In this activity...

This is the report, published in 1992, of RAMP, the Raising Achievement in Mathematics Project (1986-1989) led by Afzal Ahmed - a curriculum development research project funded by the DES. The project was primarily about influencing and developing teacher behaviour and knowledge to improve students’ learning. At...

How performance is ranked in sport is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Ranking plays a vital role in many sports, providing evidence for sponsors that a particular player, or team, is worth investment. Specific examples from cricket are provided and students learn...
