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.

Straight line graphs covers: coordinates, plotting points on straight lines, plotting graphs given their equations, the equation of a straight line and the equation of a line...

This resource created by Shirley Fall has twenty mystery fact cards, each containing a statement about the features of straight line graphs and how they lie on a 3 by 3 grid. The rationale is for students to use the fact cards to discover the features of each graph - its gradient, its intercept, its graph and...

In separate documents, this resource provides guidance for teachers to plan for progression of students aged 11-16, based on the National Strategies Framework for Secondary Science Learning Objectives. For each learning objective there is further explanation to help teachers to help students make progress, and ‘...

This activity comes with a handy teacher's guide and lesson plan, a set of easy to read questions aimed at probing deeper thinking in your pupils, and an informative presentation to run the activity. Learn all about forces, maximising air resistance to create your own straw planes. Teach about a range of forces and...

This activity supports learning in reading and writing using the context of Dr Edward Jenner’s work on developing a vaccine for Smallpox. After watching the short film children learn about the key concepts relating to character and character development, using familiar examples from across film and literature. They...
