This RISP activity gives students four properties - one side is 3cm, one angle is 90 degrees, one side is 4cm and one angle is thirty degrees. Students are required to find as many triangles as they can which contain any three of these four properties. Once the triangles have been found, students are asked to find...

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.

Trigonometry covers: Pythagoras' theorem, trigonometric functions; an introduction to sine, cosine and tangent; calculating the length of sides of triangles and calculating the...

The first of two RISP activities, Radians and Degrees, students are set the task of finding an angle whose sine value is the same whether measured in radians or degrees....

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a school has challenged students who reported finding science uninspiring, irrelevant and “easy but boring”. They used personal learning and thinking skills and a different approach to homework.

The case study includes some background information...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how adapting the curriculum to suit the needs of particular groups of students, recognising the importance of motivation and study skills when selecting students and planning well for future changes can lead to success in delivering triple science.

From triple science support, this case study illustrates a three school partnership with higher education, involving a wide variety of activities including CPD, lesson-planning, enrichment activities and mutual observations.

The case study includes some background information about the involvement of three...

From triple science support, this case study describes a network of three high schools which worked to develop the use of virtual learning environments (VLEs) to support delivery of the triple science GCSEs.

The case study includes some background information about the schools in Ilkeston (Derbyshire), and...

From triple science support, this case study describes a network of schools and a sixth form college which focused on increasing interest in triple sciences by student peer-teaching.

The case study includes some background information about Challney High School for Boys (Luton), and its partners, who focused...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a collaboration of schools worked alongside the local authority, higher education and industry to try to raise awareness of science careers among students at Key Stage Three and so encourage more of them to opt for triple science GCSEs.

Based in...

The case study includes some background information about the schools involved in Stockport, supported by the local authority, how they produced a guide for addressing both basic knowledge and misconceptions in electricity, and downloadable resources to help teachers to understand all aspects of forces.

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a school's science and mathematics departments collaborated to increase the time available for students taking triple science and so increased the level of attainment for students.

The case study includes some background information about...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a school used a combination of identifying potential triple science students as early as Year Eight with student perspectives on the triple science courses and their reasons for choosing it.

The case study includes some background information about...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates the steps taken by a school in moving away from a stereotypical view of triple science as being academic and theoretical towards more exciting and engaging provision, and so attract more students to take up these GCSEs. It looks at the impact of developing a...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how highlighting the different characteristics of the sciences and developing an enviable programme of enhancement and enrichment activities for students to enable them to make informed choices about progression can lead to success in delivering triple...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a school provided extra lessons before school to dramatically increase the triple science take up, leading to greater progression to sciences post-16.
