Dartboard

This resource begins by considering how the dartboard and the game of darts, can be used in practising arithmetic. Students are asked to consider the different ways each score1 to 60 can be achieved using a single dart. Students are asked to find the maximum and minimum score achievable with 1, 2 and 3 darts.

This resource from Teachers TV features Philip New, Head of Year Six at Woodland Middle School, as he utilises an interactive dart board to develop students' mathematical skills. This idea stems from a comment made by Bobby George, a champion darts player, when he said in an interview that the future of darts...

The mathematics generated by a dart board is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics teaching. The apparent randomness of the sector placement on a standard dart board is explained and students explore the possible scores that can be achieved with a selection of darts. Establishing...

At a moment of great discovery, one big idea can change the world. When it was first published, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, with its now commonplace central idea of 'natural selection', scandalised the world. But in the context of modern times, how do we grasp just how original and daring it was in 1859...

Darwin and Natural Selection *suitable for home teaching*

In this activity from ARKive, students look for similarities between the basic body plans of different vertebrates as evidence of evolutionary change. This customisable presentation builds the scientific explanation of natural selection by illustrating four key observations:

• All organisms produce more...

Even though they're dead, the scientists in this 'Horribly famous' title are still full of surprises. Not only did Darwin come up with the theory of evolution, but he also wrote a book about his pet worms. And Isaac...

This book explores how our manmade environments are accelerating and changing the evolution of the animals and plants around us. Taking us on a journey around the world for a close up look at just how flexible and swift-moving natural selection can be, we see wildlife not just surviving but thriving in urban spaces...

Darwin Education Initiative

Published by the Wellcome Trust in January 2011, this report provides the findings from the final stage of the evaluation of the Darwin Education Initiative. It includes the findings from follow-up interviews with case study schools which explored the continued use of the Great Plant Hunt and Survival Rivals...
