This Pupil Research Brief (PRB), designed by a team at the Centre for Science Education, supports the teaching and learning of physics at GCSE and Scottish Standard Grade levels. Each brief was targeted at a topic within the curriculum at the time. The study guide provides a structure to guide the students through...

A set of thirty puzzle cards for Key Stage Two students aged eight and nine, produced at Manchester Polytechnic and written by Gillian Hatch. [b]Contents include:[/b] Number squares using addition tables, rectangle puzzles on a number grid, a number of puzzles using number machines and flow diagrams, investigations...

In the context of visual effects in movies, students are challenged to investigate parallax by finding out how the distance of a nearby object is related to how far it appears to move when you view it from different perspectives.  The activity develops graph drawing and data analysis skills.

This resource contains two excel files which encourage exploration of the background to Pythagoras' Theorem and give practice in its application. Each file contains the same nine sheets of questions which may be suitable for use in the classroom.

This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around using Pythagoras theorem. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

This resource consists of 23 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, asking students to: * investigate the area of tilted squares * explore whether Pythagoras’ theorem works for all triangles * find a proof for Pythagoras’ theorem *...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Pythagoras' theorem covers: the definition of Pythagoras' theorem, calculating the length of the hypotenuse, calculating the length of the other sides, solving problems in context...

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

In this resource students use Pythagoras’ Theorem to a series of solve problems.

This task is designed to assess how well students understand Pythagorean Triples.

In the initial task students are given the Pythagorean Triples

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25) and (9, 40, 41)

They investigate the relationships between the lengths of the sides of the triangles that belong...

This series of three lessons introduces Python programming to students in secondary school. The lesson objectives include:

• Creating simple code including the input and print scripts
• Using "If statements" to make a decision
• Using the random function in programs

The aim of this workbook, written by Ali Mulla, is to provide a simple introduction for students to programming in the language Python. The book contains examples, tasks for students to complete and space for students to write their observations and answers to questions posed. The topics covered are: dealing with...

This series of resources supports the teaching and learning of the computer programming language Python. The series of activities, produced by Code Club have support sheets for each of the activity projects. They are easy to follow and support progression in the learning. The activities require studenst to: *...

Databases are a fundamental part of modern organisations. This resource consists of an activity sheet, answer sheet and a highly usable utility for using SQLite with Python. The activities enable students to produce implement what they have learned from the theoretical content.
