In these AMP resources, co-funded by the Clothworkers and Nuffield Foundation, students investigate making different symmetrical shapes, using one or more of three given shapes. Students will work logically, identifying and classifying patterns making general statements...

Symmetry: SMILE card 0880 is a booklet of activities starting with a number of photographs of objects that exhibit symmetry. In the first task students explore the line symmetry of different mathematical shapes by folding followed by an activity in which students make a symmetrical picture of their...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to develop understanding of line and rotational symmetry. Much of the work on line symmetry is based on paper folding activities and is quite practical.

The...

This resource contains 20 instant maths ideas designed to provide students with the opportunity to: * explore reflections of two dimensional shapes * investigate what happens when coordinates are transformed * decide whether the human face is symmetrical * design patterns exhibiting rotational symmetry * explore...

From the Wellcome Trust, this animation shows how syphilis, a sexually transmitted bacterial disease (STD), can infect a person's lymph nodes. If this initial infection is not treated, the bacteria can spread to cause damage to the heart, aorta, brain, eyes and bones. In some cases, untreated syphilis can result in...

The activities in this collection, from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, are all designed to introduce the principles of the circular economy to students in secondary school. Before teaching the activities, it is recommended that teachers firstly introduce the concept of the circular economy using the introductory...

This task gives students the opportunity to consider the wider implications of unauthorised access to the computer systems of a logistics business. Students are asked to investigate the main areas covered by the Computer Misuse Act and techniques used by hackers to access a company's data and systems. Students are...

Students are asked to design and make a waving animal toy prototype, that could be used to inspire a child aged 5-10 spiritually - to inspire them to be self confident. To start students look at a litter picker and discuss, in pairs or small groups, what is the product. Students look at ideas of animals to inspire...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand percentage calculations and special offers.

The task shows three T-shirts with different prices. A special offer states that all three may be purchased together for a discounted price. There are various tasks to complete, including calculating the...
