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 contains six problems which require deep understanding of the working of logarithms. Students are required to develop questions which give a specific answer. It is likely that each student will provide a different solution. This presents an opportunity for rich discussion as students question and...

RISP activity Building Log Equations requires students to form equations given a set of cards and to determine, with examples, whether the equation is always, sometimes or...

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...

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...

This series of logic puzzles require students to consider the information given, represent the information given and to think logically in order to solve the problems.

Here Kitty Kitty asks students to match which of Amelia's friends receive which kitten.

Let's race ...

This SMILE resource contains four packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of logic and sets, from simple sorting activities to solving logic puzzles.

Combining maths and computational thinking, this Barefoot Computing activity for upper primary uses linear number sequences to introduce algorithms in computing. Children work collaboratively to apply logical thinking and pattern recognition - key concepts used across the Barefoot Computing project. While using...

This activity combines computing and maths to look at algorithms. Children are challenged to solve missing number problems in number sequences, using logical reasoning. Additional challenges are then presented, and children are asked to share not just the answer, but the approach they took to solving the problem...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate how the RAF use science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills when planning a mission. Students will use maths to work out how to pack an aircraft effectively.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

This Core Maths task requires students to investigate the number of steps and various dimensions of escalators.

Students can measure width and length of stairs in their own school/college and compare them to their estimate of escalator steps. It may be appropriate to make use of Pythagoras' Theorem in the...

In this activity, pupils design a costume for participants running in the London marathon. They need to consider how modern and smart fabrics could be used in their design, such as those that wick moisture to keep runners cool and dry.

They will also need to consider how to make their costume eye-...
