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 short task considers identifying and interpreting linear graphs.

Students are given five equations of linear graphs. They must match four of them with graphs that have been drawn, and then draw the other graph on a set of axes. The final part of the task is to find a graph that could represent the speed...

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.

This aim of this resource from the National Strategies, which was one of a series of Literacy in … series, was to exemplify aspects of the Literacy across the curriculum training file for individual subjects. It was intended to be used either within a mathematics department or as a self study module to develop...

This collection of mathematics teaching materials are designed to help students discover how the Internet of Things (IoT) can connect the everyday objects around us, while exploring a number of mathematical concepts.

Single-lesson one-hour activities, as well as more extended five-hour activities, are...

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...

This book, which forms part of the weaving series from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, is an introduction to logic in a very general sense.

Its main aim was to help students aged from about 8 to 12 to think clearly...

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...

In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about the individual days out of four work colleagues to determine where they went, what they did and who they went with.

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

In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about four friends who meet up in the city centre to go shopping. The challenge is to determine which area of the city each friend lives in, what they purchased, and who they gave their purchase to.

Once the students have read the...
