Subtangent has provided 30 starters and puzzles along with a version of forbidden words, a game where a student has to select a card and communicate a given word to others without using any of the forbidden words written on the card.

This resource helps pupils use the correct vocabulary to describe and explain the different properties of the different states of matter and relate these properties to diagrams of a particle model.  The activity sheets provided gradually build the confidence of pupils in using the key words in this subject so that...

Dotty grids, square grids, different types of graph paper and axes and number grids in different orientations make up this collection of printable resources from Subtangent.

These nine instant maths ideas explore a variety of statistical calculations. The first task asks students to discuss a spider diagram depicting descriptive statistics. Other tasks explore misconceptions when calculating different averages and consider which average is the most appropriate to use in different...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on the development of stealth vehicles.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

This resource by Pedagogics explores subtle adjustments to teacher's language in order to be less emotive, more objective-led and promote progress.

Produced by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC), this activity could be used as an extension investigation into pH for 10 -11 year-olds.

Three addition calculations are shown using symbols instead of numbers. Can students arrange the symbols from smallest to largest? A second puzzle follows with four additions, including one with more than one symbol on each side of the equals sign.

This Cre8ate maths activity draws on measuring stretchiness which involves the collection of real data, calculating percentages and experimental design. This resource models one way in which engineers use their knowledge of mathematics to investigate the properties of materials. Here students investigate the...

A useful handbook for setting up a student-led STEM club, with exemplars from three schools.

It is increasingly recognised that giving students opportunities to act as ambassadors and mentors for STEM subjects outside of school can be of great benefit to the individual, their institution, and to the broader...
