From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to a study of the properties of similar figures as a first step on the way to a study of trigonometry. Hence the workcards involve the practising of the mechanics of enlargement, becoming...

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

Similarity covers: enlargement, similar shapes, linear scale factors, area scale factors, volume scale factors, maps and scale models.

The initial file forms part of the...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of the module is to build on the Similarity module...

This resource contains two instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter activities, extension work or as probing questions to assess understanding. The activities provide students with the opportunity to consider what is meant by the term congruence, what properties two triangles must share in order for the...

This SMILE resource contains one pack of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of similarity and enlargement.

Similarity and enlargement contains fourteen work cards requiring the students to investigate similarity of different sized...

This activity teaches children how to use a protractor. It includes three protractors that are used to progressively build up to a 'real' one. The protractors are designed to be printed onto acetates and cut out to build up a full protractor showing all the divisions.

Provided by mathsicks, the resource...

Students use algebraic and spreadsheet formulae in Excel to calculate simple and compound interest.

This resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

To increase confidence and fluency, students need to spend time practising the basic definition and rules of logarithms and be able to apply the rules in more complex expressions. This resource, from Susan Wall, contains four advanced level activities designed to practise the basics and extend understanding of...

The activity allows the students to explore social, ethical, economic and health issues relating to the use of Nintendo Wii compared to doing real sports and present their findings in a persuasive, coherent and focused argument. Students identify arguments for and...

This contains two excel programs with interactive spreadsheets designed to show the graphical solution to pairs of simultaneous equations and provide their solutions.

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to the solution of simultaneous equations and demonstrates a rather unusual way of approaching the topic. The equations are largely restricted to equations where the coefficients are +/- 1...

This resource from Inquiry Maths is designed to stimulate exploration of the nature of simultaneous equations.
