Time facts quiz requires students to answers questions such as how many seconds there are in a minute and how many days there are in a leap year.

In this Science upd8 activity, students evaluate evidence from a recently discovered mummy to work out how it lived and how it died. Through so doing, they learn about the function of its preserved tissues and organs.

This Double Crossed resource uses the context of the excavation of an Egyptian tomb to learn about the main organs in the human body. The students evaluate evidence from a recently discovered mummy to draw conclusions about the person’s life and the cause of death.

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Time and timetables covers tellling the time from a clock face, 12 and 24 hour clocks, converting between different units of time, timetables and solving problems in context. The initial...

Purpose: An important form of investigation that can be difficult to manage in classrooms is ‘observation over time’. Fixed length lessons reduce the number of possibilities for observation to those changes that occur within minutes rather than hours. One solution to this problem is to use time lapse photography to...

This excel file has separate sheets dealing with various styles of analogue clock face and different levels of difficulty. It begins with a sheet showing times limited to quarter, half and whole hours. The next two sheets have the numbers removed from the clock face....

This resource from TEMI introduces and explores a mathematical 'magic trick' in which the teacher predicts a random number that is generated by students using a series of number grids.

In order to explain the trick, students must use addition, tables and subtraction, as well as exploring number patterns and...

Times tables 7911; students are presented with fifty questions requiring solutions to times tables questions from the 7, 9 and 11 times tables. Students record how long it takes them to complete the task and how many correct answers they score.

Fill in the blanks: presents students with a partially completed...

Tin cans come in a variety of shapes and sizes. In this activity students consider the net of a tin can, the formula for the total surface area and the formula for the volume of the can. The first problem requires students to express the total surface area as a function of r by eliminating h. The second problem...

This article, from the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM) publication ‘Mathematics Teaching’, and is taken from MT227. Ian Thompson reviews the evidence of effective practice in the teaching of early arithmetic found by Ofsted and published in the document...
