National strategies: primary mathematics - video for book 4
This resource provides many short clips of the teaching of calculation strategies at primary level. Examples focus on the development of the understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using many of examples detailed in the National Numeracy...
In 2002 the UK Government launched the Key Stage Three National Strategy for science – a school support programme involving locally employed consultants to work with science teachers and departments to raise standards in Key Stage Three science across England (students...
The National Strategies were professional programmes for children and young people across all the school phases in England, delivered on behalf of the Department for Education. They were first introduced in 1998 and ceased to operate in 2011. The materials were designed to help teachers and schools focus on the...
Numbers and patterns: laying foundations in mathematics
This set of materials from the National Strategies is intended to help practitioners working with students in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and lower Key Stage One, to plan their mathematics provision and help students to secure some of the key mathematical...
Numeracy Matters 1998
A resource from the National Curriculum Council (NCC). One of the first acts of the new Labour government was to announce national targets for literacy and numeracy, these were for 75 per cent of 11 year olds to achieve the standards expected for their age in mathematics by 2002.
The Numeracy Task Force was...
One of Our Scientists Is Missing
This Science upd8 activity offers an opportunity to test students' understanding of the solar system, and their skills as independent enquirers, problem solvers and effective communicators. Students are part of an earth-bound team set the task of interpreting a range of data relating to the solar system/universe....
Ordering Fractions and Decimals N1
In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students learn to interpret decimals and fractions using scales and areas, find equivalent fractions, order and relate fractions and decimals and to reflect on and discuss these processes. Students will have met these concepts before. Many, however, may still have...
Ordering Probabilities S1
In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand that probabilities are assigned values between 0 and 1. They will on an decide an appropriate value for the probability of a given event and use some of the vocabulary associated with probability such as
‘certain’, ‘impossible’, ‘likely’. They...
Department for Education Standards Unit Improving Learning in Mathematics 'Other' materials provide activities to explore the properties of graph in decision mathematics, the equations of motion and solving problems using Newton's second law.
Packaging Design
This resource from the Department for Education develops the 3-D thinking required to move between solid objects and their 2-D nets. The activities are placed in the context of packaging. Students flatten out a packaging box to show the flat 2-D 'net' that made up the whole pack and investigate how the net could be...
