The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics behind aircraft design. Students will explore the forces acting on an aircraft during flight and use the iterative design process to design and improve the perfect paper aircraft.

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of algebraic structure, from forming simple formulae to changing the subject of a formula.

Algebraic structure pack one contains nine work cards with a...

This puzzle contains five pieces of information about people shaking hands at a party. The task is to establish the number of people at the party and determine who shook whose hand.

This resource explores how there can sometimes be conflict between people and animals in some habitats and how the World Land Trust's conservation partners work to protect local people as well as animals such as Indian elephants and Bengal tigers. Pupils are encouraged to think about what they might do to support...

This resource contains two maths activities. The first gives pupils the opportunity to make and fly paper planes, measure distance travelled accurately and mathematically record data. This maths activity gives pupils the chance to learn more about how the wing span and fuselage length can affect the distance a...

This Alpha Mathematics resource, published by Schofield & Sims, was developed to cater for students of good average or above average ability who, after training, would be able to work individually, or in groups, with the minimum of help from the class teacher. It was designed to be implemented as a tutorial...

This resource, published by Schofield & Sims, is the first in the Alpha Mathematics series of text books which were developed for use by more able students of middle school age. The structure of the book is replicated in other books of the series and there are...
