This transition project allows pupils to handle data in a real life context. The work is split from Years 5 to 8, with opportunity for groups to revisit the previous year’s results. Year 5 collects discrete data, finds the mode and range and displays the results on an interactive bar graph. Year 6 collects discrete data, finds the mode, median, mean and range and displays their results on an interactive pictogram. Year 7 collects discrete data and displays their data on an interactive scatter diagram. Year 8 collects and analyses continuous data using an interactive reaction timer.
Interactive whiteboard materials (PowerPoint and Word form) dealing with all aspects of the study of angles: angles in triangles, parallel lines, construction, external angles of polygons, area & arc, length of sector, circle geometry.
Ideal for KS3
This is a simple open ended shape and space investigation focussing on the formula for the perimeter of a shape. This is an ideal unit to introduce younger KS2 children to maths investigation skills as the patterns are simple to spot. The unit can be used to assess AT1 or as a KS2/3 transition project.
A visual unit that can be used to promote thinking and encourage group discussion about the properties of polygons. Pupils can use the information provided to accurately draw diagrams to represent equilateral, isosceles, right-angled and scalene triangles along with many regular quadrilaterals.
The activity consists of information sheets, an interctive whiteboard activity and worksheets on polygons, trianlgles and quadrilaterals.
Ideal for KS3 students.
This unit is made up of three mini interactive activities focusing on the properties of 3D shapes. The first activity is based on Euler’s theory. The pupils need to find a rule that links the faces, edges and vertices together. The interactive activity allows them to manipulate the shapes on screen to count the faces, edges and vertices. The second activity has them using their knowledge of the properties of 3D shapes to form a polyhedral chain. The third activity allows the pupils to investigate which edges will meet when a net folds to form a 3D shape.

A series of PPT activities that help students understand and use functional relationships. The resource is split into 10 sections. Each section consists of a PPT presentation with accompanying activities or worksheets. 1. Recognise linear sequences 2. Rules and robots – complete the number machine 3. Create number patterns in shapes 4. Patterns and rules – One or two stage formulae 5. Patterns and rules –Two stage formulae 6. Problem solving – Group work using formulae 7. Simplifying expressions 8. Simplifying indices 9. Substitution 10. Symbols in algebra. Other topics covered: Number
Pick's Theorem, In this interactive KS3 investigation students work out the area of shapes using different combinations of pins on the perimeter and inside the shape. Can you find a pattern? How will you work out if there is a general rule to finding the area of any polygon?
Teachers guides and notes are included
This interactive application has been designed to teach pupils to accurately estimate and draw a bearing. The application allows the practice of drawing bearings and the estimation of bearings. A worksheet is provided in both PDF and Word. Follow the links to the Cymru website to use interactive activities.
This unit is made up of a number of mini activities. After finding the 12 pentominoes pupils use the shapes in the following activities: Find the symmetry and rotational symmetry of the shapes Investigate which pentominoes will tessellate without being rotated, then which will tessellate when rotated Fit the shapes into varying sizes of rectangles The unit contains pentomino shapes to download and print out.
