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 study guide offers practical suggestions for you to use in the classroom to develop effective demonstrations. All the strategies have been tried and tested by teachers.  You can either use...

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...

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 series of five one-hour lessons covers computer networks at secondary-school level. The objectives of the lessons are:

• Describe what a network is, the difference between a LAN and a WAN and identify three network topologies.
• Describe pieces of hardware that are needed in a network.
...

This series of Core Maths presentations explore various network problems in a variety of contexts.

Networks: Teacher Guide
The teacher guide presentation contains four network problems with detailed solutions to the first two questions.
