In this Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, students are given opportunities to explore line painting through a practical approach, enabling them to appreciate the need to use algebraic reasoning in a visual setting.

The main themes are using and applying mathematics, constructing functions arising...

This resource is an interactive excel program to enable students to solve some different types of linear equations. Each interactive sheet begins with an example of how the student could write out each stage of the solution. Students can click on the cells which are...

Linear Programming involves creating a function that represents a real life problem. The aim is to optimise this function given certain constraints. Simple examples of linear programming will have few variables and constraints, however, real life situations will have many more variables and constraints that will...

This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to linear graphs. Some of the graphs contain proportional relationships, whist others show just linear relationships.

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources that explore Algebra and Maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

The resource is an introduction to linear graphs, leading to the link between the constants in the standard form...

These resources commisioned by the Qualifications and Curriculum Agency (QCDA) are to support the linked pair of mathematics GCSEs piloted from September 2010, which were developed in response to Professor Adrian Smith’s...

This resource looks at three detailed case studies in the form of student projects which clearly illustrate how mathematics and geography can be effectively linked. This booklet serves as good preparation material for CPD work between departments.

Food and settlement  This case study looks...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

Sessions in this resource look at:

• Loci - kinds of loci (using rich collaborative tasks)
• Loci - distinguishing loci based on their conditions (using rich collaborative...

This interactive excel file allows students to investigate loci. Each of the interactive sheets enables students to see random points on or near the locus and how the locus is constructed. Loci include the locus of points equidistant from a point, from a line segment...

This resource consists of 12 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, providing students with the opportunity to explore loci and constructions using physical activities, by solving problems such as the goat and the shed problem,...

This resource written by Shirley Fall focuses on constructing loci. There are eighteen cards with statements about an area of land centred on a four-sided field reputed once to have belonged to a notorious highwayman. Students are asked to discuss in groups and use the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. The logic resource covers, logic puzzles; introduced in this unit to help pupils think mathematically, two-way tables, sets and Venn diagrams and set notation. The initial file forms part...

In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about four siblings to work out the days of the week their birthdays are on and what presents they received.

Once the students have read the story they have to extract the relevant information. They are then encouraged to enter into a...
