This task is designed to assess how well students understand repeated percentage reduction.

The task begins with reducing the price of a jacket by 25%. The sale price of the jacket reduces by 25% on a further three occasions. A statement is made that ‘four reductions of 25% must mean the jacket is then free...

Accumulate a total of 26.2 miles as a team, an individual or as a family... it is up to you! We suggest the children run as a group to reflect this distance. 

Tim Peake ran the 42km (26.2mi) distance int three hours, 35 minutes wearing a harness over his shoulders and waist to keep him in contact with the...

This set of bingo cards supports children learn about 2D shapes in a fun and engaging way. It contains twelve bingo cards which can be printed off and laminated, allowing children to circle the shapes from a description of their properties.

This resource has been provided by Early Learning HQ.

This Barefoot Computing activity for upper primary goes deeper into the concept of algorithms, using logical reasoning and debugging to find errors and to improve accuracy and efficiency. By following instructions, children create diagrams constructed from simple shapes. They are asked to identify errors in the...

Aimed at Early Years and lower primary this resource contains a set of 2D shape fans which support with the teaching about the properties of 2D shapes.

Provided by Early Learning HQ, the sections of the fan can be laminated and put together with a split pin to create the resource.

Properties of 2D shapes requires students to describe the properties of a square, a circle, rectangle, equilateral triangle and a hexagon and contains sample answers.

This resource consists of two interactive excel programs. The first allows students to explore 2D representations of solids. The second provides problems relating to angles and lengths within solids which need to be solved using trigonometry.

Drawing 3D in 2D This excel file deals with 2D...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

Sessions in this resource look at:

• 2D and 3D shapes (developing mathematical language)
• 2D shapes - naming and classification (using co-operative small group work)...

This resource contains a series of interactive spreadsheets designed to demonstrate various teaching points and to provide practice in 2D and 3D shapes and their properties at primary level. They are:

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of 3-D shapes, from folding nets to make cubes to making a dodecahedron.

3-D pack one contains seven work cards with a wide variety of activities...

3D Objects requires students to name objects and count the number of edges, faces and corners of each object. The objects included are a cube, a cuboid, a pyramid, a cylinder, a cone and a sphere. The second page contains sample answers.

3D objects - practical problems asks students to determine whether different shaped parcels will fit through a letter box. The dimensions of the rectangular shaped letter box is given as are the dimensions of the parcels. In the second task, students are to determine whether different sized cuboids will fit through...

This lesson resource provides teacher notes for delivering a lesson that places 3D Printing as a new and emerging technology. It looks at how 3D printers work and provides a student assessment.

This resource consists of 19 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, requiring students to: * name different solids * explore the cross sections of different solids leading to a definition of a prism * investigate polyhedral * draw...
