Cross-Reference Mapping Between MEP and the National Numeracy Strategy
This mapping from CIMT gives the Key Objectives from the Secondary Framework (2001) for each year group and the respective units in the MEP scheme.
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.
Cross-totals
This task is designed to assess how well students understand addition, working methodically, and giving a proof.
A cross is given that uses two squares on each arm around a central square to give nine squares in total. The numbers from 1 to 9 must be placed in the squares so that the vertical and horizontal...
Crossed Lines
The equations of two intersecting lines are given. The challenge is to use Pythagoras’ theorem to show that the triangle formed by the lines and the y-axis is a right-angle. The point of intersection is determined by solving simultaneous equations.
Each example is derived from a pair of perpendicular lines....

What is the connection between literacy and science learning? How does knowledge in one area affect learning in the other? How can teachers provide meaningful science-literacy connections for your students? This...
