The Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching provide this resource which uses the National Lottery to promote class discussion and mathematical thinking. Students explore how the lottery works and investigate the probability of winning, as well as considering a variety of different investment opportunities....

In this resource from stats4schools, students investigate the locations and names of the National Parks and use the internet to research appropriate information within guidelines about them. They then use ICT to present their findings back to the class.

This Challenge Pack, from the British Science Association, aims to give students aged 11-16 and their teachers and educators support to create a science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) project that they can enter into the National Science + Engineering Competition.

Through creating a project, young...

This presentation and student worksheet provides an overview of various timbers (hardwood and softwood) and manufactured boards.

This session will allow students to explore how nature has enabled animals and plants to move on the surface of our planet and how this can be used to create future rovers for exploring Mars. How will future machines travel effectively across the various types of Martian terrain and survive some of the...

This resource contains ten instant maths ideas covering a whole range of suggestions that may be used as starter questions, extension questions or probing questions to assess understanding. Areas covered include: true/false statements using greater than and less than signs, using negative coordinates, a resource...

This primary maths game children to use and apply calculation skills. Players use three dice and take it in turns to create a calculation that will allow them to cover a number on the game board. Different amounts of points are scored depending on which numbers are covered, which encourages children to carry out...

Act 1

A picture is shown of a scale model of Neptune. The...

In this activity students view the 'You've got a Nerve' video and learn that Charles Sherrington named the gap between neurons synapses.

They then think about why we use models to explain difficult scientific concepts...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Nets and surface area covers: the properties of common 2d and 3d shapes, 2d representation of 3d shapes, plans and elevations, nets and surface area of cubes and cuboids and nets...

Using the school network as a learning resource, this Barefoot Computing resource for primary schools introduces networked devices and the hardware infrastructure used to connect them. Children carry out a ‘treasure hunt’, searching for common networked devices such as switches, servers and printers. After mapping...

In this maths based activity learners will find stations along a rail network, based on journey times and using a known starting position. The task involves adding different combinations of journey times to identify the answer.

In this activity students consider how different methods of communication operate successfully. By looking at rules and procedures in place, students are introduced to communication protocols. By working through a role-play...

This group task asks students to investigate how a logistics company could improve its digital infrastructure. Different groups research different aspects of implementing a digital improvement plan including:

• creating a network of computers
• using barcodes and barcode scanners
• ...
