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...

Sanjeev Gupta is a geologist who uses his understanding of rocks and physical processes such as plate tectonics, mountain building, deposition of sediment and erosion by water to understand how particular landscapes were formed from remote deserts, under the sea in the English Channel and on Mars!

He came to...

Santa may decide to move to another planet! In this fun activity from Science upd8 students analyse planetary data to find which planet best satisfies Santa's future requirements.

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics behind satellite communications. Students will take part in an interactive demonstration of a satellite network and use scientific investigation to learn how the law of reflection is used...

In this podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), reporters find out how satellites have revolutionised our understanding of climate change.

They provide a completely different perspective on how planet Earth works, which was impossible before the...

A great deal of space exploration is performed by autonomous craft. They have mapped remote planets and even landed to send surface data back to Earth. Satellites have changed the world of communication, earth observation and, through global positioning systems, everyday navigation. This collection, with...

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...

This is an activity where students investigate the organisms found in horse chestnut leaves infected by leaf miner moths.  The students then record their observations before being given identification guidance and further background information to consider.
