Learning outcomes

• Students will have the opportunity to learn about solutions to the problems they have identified and investigate the importance of maths and statistics in future careers.
•  
• Students could be able to start making decisions about their future career...

Have you ever wondered about the earth’s wild and wonderful weather? Think you have what it takes to build an earthquake-proof house or survive in an extreme environment?

In this programme, pupils will make models to help them understand how weather and extreme events occur, and what their impact can be....

This resource looks at extremes of temperature on the Earth, and inside and outside the International Space Station. Students must find data, draw bar graphs and perform conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Based on the game of battleships, this activity is an effective way of practising grid references and co-ordinates. Children take it in turns to roll two dice and place a counter on the board; the faces of the dice determine the co-ordinates where their counter can go...

The (fictional) show Fact Finders TV needs help from your STEM Club! The show explores common myths, crazy stories and possible pranks and is asking pupils to find out, ‘Is it really true?’ and ‘How could it work?’ Pupils will make their own models to test their ideas and draw conclusions so they can report back on...

A selection of resources from Farming & Countryside Education (FACE) linked to mathematics at Key Stage Two. Each resource is either a worded problem or an activity related to the countryside. They can be easily fitted into mathematics lessons or given for homework after teaching the topics in class. The areas...

This set of Farming STEMterprise projects take children through all aspects of setting up a farm shop business, through practical science and design and technology lessons for each year group. This includes:

This resource focusses on producing a tally chart to record and analyse data about favourite colours. This activity introduces tally charts to the pupils as a really quick and easy way of recording data. They will learn how to produce one and how it can be used to find out the favourite and least favourite colours...

This Cre8ate maths activity allows the opportunity to discuss the modelling function of mathematics. The tasks allow students to develop their own strategies and to consider the idea of an ‘efficient’ algorithm. In addition, 'First fit and full bins' activity involves work on ratio and pie charts.

This resource from Ofsted is a full report and summary of the findings from a visit, in September 2009, made by two of Her Majesty's Inspectors to educational establishments in Finland. Evidence was gathered from three schools and a university from each of three towns about the factors that contributed to Finnish...

Six shapes are presented in different 3D orientations. The task is to find which of the shapes is identical.

The numbers from 1 to 9 are to be placed on a grid superimposed on a flower. The challenge is to ensure that the total of each line gives an equal sum. This resource is designed to be used after the ‘Number Bond Garden’ puzzle. The resource is suitable for Key Stage 2 students.
