Six resources in the Co-operation between Science Teachers and Mathematics Teachers series produced by the ISCU Committee on the Teaching of Science considers how mathematics is used in other areas of the curriculum.

From the Nuffield Foundation, this module develops the use of co-ordinates in two and three dimensions using traditional games. It digresses into the simple use of matrices as information stores and finally, extending the work on ‘battleships’ into equations of lines...

In this Nuffield investigation these resources from AMP, co-funded by the Clothworkers and Nuffield Foundation, students investigate how many positive integers are less than and co-prime to any given positive integer. This activity requires some confidence with the co-...

This collection of resources provides material to support the development of behaviour for learning strategies.

This resource is a full investigation with additional activities using a variety of multi-sensory approaches where students are experimenting to make the best protective sea wall.

These are activities on the theme of...

This Royal Academy of Engineering resource teaches students coding through a series of physical computing and practical activities that explore the essential role engineers have in supporting the emergency services and search and rescue missions.

Combining plugged activities, using a Crumble Controller, and...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on code breaking and security using the Cold War and espionage as a hook. Students make their own code wheel based on the Caesar cipher and explore the maths behind codebreaking...

Following on from the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Blockly activities using Rapid Router, this teacher guide introduces Python textual programming. The difficulty of the algorithm challenges and the coding required is raised to new levels, but adequate support is provided in the guides. This resource makes use of...

This collection comprises of Code for life Rapid Router with Python and Code for life Rapid Router with Blockly resources. They are aimed at both primary schoolchildren of all ages learning early computer programming as well as secondary school...

This is one of a series of resources to support the use of the BBC micro:bit. This resource focusses on pupils designing, programming and using a BBC micro:bit to find other micro:bits in a class treasure hunt.

In this activity pupils will make use of the BBC micro:bit to design and create a programmable...

This problem features a coil of tinplate being stored on a mandrel. In the first problem, students are presented with the diameter of the mandrel, the height from the floor, the width of the coil and the density of the steel. The problem is to calculate the maximum coil weight. A worked solution is included with...
