This interactive workbook begins with a sheet which illustrate properties of odd, even and consecutive numbers. These properties are illustrated numerically and algebraically. The next two sheets deal with properties of the sum, difference and product of these numbers...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand geometrical proofs.

The task presents three attempts to prove Pythagoras’ theorem. Students must look carefully at each attempt and determine which is the best ‘proof’. They must explain their reasoning as fully as possible.

This task is...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand:

• Calculating the volume of a cylinder
• Calculating the volume of a hemisphere

The task looks at designing a Propane tank. The tanks are made in the shape of a cylinder, with a hemisphere at each end. The cylindrical part...

This maths activity will give children the opportunity to explore thrust by creating windmills and recording data from test flights. Pupils will accurately measure, compare and record numbers in a group activity and further their understanding through key questions. This resource is part of a series of STEAM...

Aimed at upper primary level, this resource contains activity ideas and worksheets which support the teaching of materials and their properties. They cover many aspects of the topic including: comparing the properties of different materials, separating mixtures of materials based on their properties, irreversible...

This resource from Susan Wall contains five activities designed to enable students to explore the properties of functions in order to connect ideas together. Students learn how to solve equations, how to differentiate, how to find equations of tangents… but sometimes fail to see the picture as a whole. These...
