This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Quadratic functions covers: a recap of drawing and transforming quadratic graphs, solving quadratics by factorisation and solving quadratics by completing the square.

The...

Aimed at primary level, this resource contains an interactive spreadsheet designed to illustrate different types of quadrilaterals. Each page provides colourful examples of the following: square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, kite, trapezium and arrowhead.

Scientists have used X-ray crystallography to elucidate the structure of more than half a million substances. This powerful technique relies on complex mathematics, high energy X-rays, and the skill of crystallographers in making high quality crystals.

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Quantative data covers how vertical lines can be used to display discrete quantative data, measures of central tendancy; mean, mode, median, measures of dispersion; the range and how...

This maths in construction resource explores some common maths that a Quantity Surveyor uses while at work—most commonly to do with calculating areas and assessing the cost of a project. The session includes a group activity where students work together to calculate the costs of paint that would be needed for a...

Produced in 2015, these resources look at the development of encoding messages and how technology and science has developed to allow us to keep messages secure. Looking at unintuitive quantum properties of light, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principal and entanglement, students will see how keys can be shared to ensure...

Satellite navigation is a key technology for today’s society, allowing for global navigation on land, at sea and in the air. The technology depends upon accurate atomic clocks, which help us...

Quantum computers will revolutionise secure communications, and will make some current encryption methods obsolete. This activity, takes in cutting-edge research at the UK Quantum Technology hubs...

Practical use of diffraction gratings include emission spectra as well as explorations of the wave-particle nature of light and the interference patterns that emerge.

Satellite navigation is a key technology for today’s society, allowing for global navigation on land, at sea and in the air. The technology depends upon accurate atomic clocks, which help us...

Lasers can be used to heat things up, and also to cool them down. Using carefully tuned lasers, scientists in the UK quantum technology hubs are able to slow atoms down to just a few centimetres per...

Scientists at The University of Oxford are utilising the quantum quirks of light to study how single photons could be used to provide un-hackable data protection, quantum computers and powerful microscopes. This activity is suitable as a follow-on lesson...

Queen Elizabeth’s School in Dorset looked to embed problem solving skills to students in lower school, which allowed students taking the Core Maths course adjusted well to the problem solving focus of Core Maths and a teaching strategy which supports and guides them to find solutions to problems independently....

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.

Questionnaires and analysis covers: questionnaire design, data display and line graphs.

The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet, extra exercises...
