This resource from CensusAtSchool aimed at Year Nine students is a complete set of five or six lessons which gives an idea of how to implement the project in the classroom using the students' own data.

There are...

A set of sample plans from the National Strategies looking at number, algebra, geometry and measures.

Each sample plan identifies the required prior knowledge, suitable teaching approaches, list of resources and the expected learning outcomes. The resources to implement the lessons accompany the plans as...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Sampling covers: random sampling, systemmatic sampling, quota sampling and stratified random sampling.

The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet,...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Model a situation mathematically, justifying any assumptions made.
• Estimate unknown values/missing information when solving a problem.
• Calculate volumes of three-dimensional objects.
• ...

This is a problem solving lesson where students develop their understanding of the following areas:

• Solve simple problems involving ratio and direct proportion.
• Choose an appropriate sampling method.
• Collect discrete data and record them using a frequency table.

A sheet...

This resource from Defence Dynamics presents the findings of a MORI poll in varied formats. Research is carried out regularly by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to track attitudes of the public towards the Armed Forces over time, looking at differences between different sectors of the population and areas of the...

In this activity students take on the role of an adult in the Australian Outback who whilst out horse riding finds a female kangaroo that has just been killed on the road by a passing truck. Her joey is still alive in her pouch. Through video clips, photographs and data, students become familiar with a range of...

Find out how engineers who work in disaster response save lives on a massive scale. This Tomorrow’s Engineers poster and accompanying teacher booklet, activities and a lesson plan will help students to understand the scale and impact of disaster response engineering.

Many types of engineering are employed in...

Students calculate interest for one year, then compound interest using a decimal multiplier.

This resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Scale drawing covers measuring lengths, plans using scales and maps using scales. The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet, extra exercises and mental tests...

This Mathematics Matters case study, produced by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematical research contributes to the development of new medical imaging technology. Brain scans play a vital role in the treatment of many serious medical conditions, but decoding the signals inside...

This task assesses understanding of scatter diagrams and lines of best fit. A scatter diagram is presented that shows the scores achieved in two tests.

The task involves plotting a point to show the average score for each test, drawing a line of best fit, and then assessing five statements about the scatter...

The flight from Singapore from London takes 13 hours and 35 minutes. Given the take off time and the fact that Singapore is 7 hours ahead of London, students are asked to find the local time the plane lands in London. Students are posed a series of problems and tasks relating to other flights between Singapore and...

There are strict limits on the number of hours that pilots can work. A formula is given which is used to calculate 'stick' time, the actual working time for a flight with a scheduled flying time of t minutes. Students are required to use this formula to solve a number of problems posed. Students are asked to graph...

This collection includes a series of themed activities and resources suitable for use in STEM clubs.  

In addition, it includes an example of a STEM club scheme of work from Dagenham Park School, as well as a template suitable for use when planning activities for your own STEM club.
