This booklet from the National Strategies was designed to help mathematics departments plan for effective transition from Key Stage Three to Key Stage Four by creating teaching and learning plans that bridge the key stages.

This resource from SMILE Mathematics provides materials for two units of work that can be used in Key Stage Two and Key Stage Three. They provide an opportunity for curriculum continuity for students transferring from primary to secondary school, although they can be used as standalone units in each phase. Each...

This resource from Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency is designed to help schools and local education authorities provide curricular continuity in mathematics between Year Six and Year Seven. They help to develop a shared understanding of standards, as well as providing suitable experiences for...

These two Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) pages give statistics and key facts about the British population in 2007 and 2008. These statistics give a picture of the UK's population growth rates and age distribution, percentages of ethnic minorities, where we live and work, our income and spending habits...

British Science Week, organised by the British Science Association, is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths. 

The theme for 2023's ...

British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths which takes place each March. The theme for 2025 is ‘Change and adapt’.

Changing and adapting plays a big part in science and you can find examples in every area of STEM. Cities, towns and other areas where people...

In developing this pack, the British Science Association has looked for activities which break down the stereotypes surrounding science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and that promote cross-curricular learning, including some suggestions on remote engagement if you are unable to accommodate visitors...

This activity pack provides a range of activities that promote cross-curricular learning, so that STEM can be linked to other curriculum subjects and to student's own backgrounds, lives and interests. It has been designed for British Science Week 2024 on the theme of 'time'.

Activities are suitable for...

This set of 4 activities have been designed to provide staff at golf courses who are STEM Ambassadors, in particular greenkeepers, ideas on how to run some STEM based sessions for pupils aged 11 to 14 years of age to highlight the work of greenkeepers...

Is it possible to use a 'broken calculator' in this activity to make a given set of numbers?

Students are required to show how they would use each calculator to generate the numbers from one to twenty.

This maths/history scheme of work from Badger began as a joint project between a Key Stage Three Strategy Consultant and a Head of History, with the intention of improving practice within a history department. This scheme of work does not claim to solve all of these problems but it does seek to alleviate some of...

This rich task from Cre8ate offers pupils the opportunity to develop their personal learning and thinking skills. It involves using recycled materials to construct a scale model of a silo and is well suited to group work. The task can be extended for more able students by investigating the resizing of their model...

In Building a town, from Cre8ate maths, students are encouraged to consider the mathematical shapes which form the net of a building. Some simple models are shown and students could use these to construct their nets, before building the models themselves.
