Area puzzles

The mathematical topics required to solve the puzzles are areas of triangles and rectangles. The shapes are combinations of triangles and rectangles, with some areas and some distances marked. The challenge is to calculate the missing dimensions. The puzzles were inspired by Naoki Inaba’s ‘area maze puzzles’. This...

Area, Perimeter and Volume

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.

Area, perimeter and volume covers: a review of the names and shapes of common 2D shapes; areas of special shapes such as circle, triangle, parallelogram and composite shapes; the...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Areas and Perimeters

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. This resource covers: area of shapes drawn on a grid, area and perimeter of a square area and perimeter of a rectangle, area of compound shapes and area of a triangle. The initial file...

Areas of Circles and Composite Shapes

This video resource from Teachers TV is presented by Fran and Dave, who demonstrate practical applications of mathematics as they investigate the surface area of different shapes and the cost of tiling a bathroom.

Different methods for calculating the area of the bathroom walls are explained, while...

Argumentation

This set of resources exemplifies ways in which practical work can be used alongside a pedagogical approach known as argumentation. Argumentation is a core practice used by communities of research scientists, and it is through these activities that science knowledge is developed and agreed. Argumentation activities...
