Maths Puzzles: Graph Theory (Networks and Maps)
These resources is a set of games, puzzles and worksheets which provide a basic introduction to the mathematical topic of graph theory, which has many real-life applications but isn’t often covered in maths in school, so this resource would provide for interesting extension tasks for secondary school pupils and older Primary school pupils. Graph theory has real-life applications to the maths of maps and network diagrams; and in this resource there is also a very topical activity applying graph theory to the spread of a global virus. Further activities are themed around transport networks and city maps.

Maths at Work
This series consists of five videos about how Maths is used in the World of Work. They are aimed at S1-S4 students, but might be suitable for younger or older students because the puzzles do not require much background knowledge.
Descriptive Statistics: Averages
A power point resource for teachers of biology, geography and environmental science for pupils studying at Advanced Higher (AS-Level, and above), and early FE/HE levels. Of use for helping to achieve a basic understanding and application of ‘central tendency’ in fieldwork, assignments and examination questions. It complements the Guide to Descriptive Statistics in Geosciences. This resource is for Self guided learning for learners and teachers to use in Geography, Biology, Data Science for Advanced Higher.
Reverse-3D Dragon
The preference of our visual system to see a normal face is much stronger than the smaller visual things that our eyes notice – such as the slightly odd shadows – so our brains assume that a mistake has been made, and that we are looking at a normal face. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (SCN 1-12b / SCN 2-11b / SCN 2-12b / SCN 3-12a) for First / Second / Third (P2 – S3).
Reaction Ruler
