• Use particle diagrams to represent the...

From the LSIS, these materials cover two sessions designed to take students through the basic principles of manipulating and solving equations. The learners work through building an equation, checking the equation and solving the equation. They are then asked to create their own equation and swap it with a partner...

This resource contains an interactive spreadsheet designed to illustrate teaching points and which could be used as the basis of investigations which involve reasoning about number and shape. Each page of the spreadsheet contains a different activity:

This booklet from the National Numeracy Strategy was written to help students: * solve mathematical problems or puzzles, recognise and explain patterns and relationships, generalise and predict; * explain methods and reasoning orally and in writing; * suggest extensions by asking ‘What if …?’ All the activities...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these materials encourage primary children to use reclaimed materials to make a range of products that include a model person, stacking toy, necklace, model car and powered roundabout.

The skills pupils develop during the activities include...

This series of interactive excel sheets look at recognising and using numbers. New questions can be generated each time by the click of a button. To check the answers click on the smiley face.

The first four sheets...

Purpose: Digital tools have radically changed the way that fieldwork data can be recorded and saved. There is no longer a need for clipboards and pencils in the field, as digital technology can record details of observations, times, location and images within a single app. This data can be saved to an online data...

This activity examines the meanings of the terms reduce, reuse and recycle. Students consider the efficacy of recycling and reusing and whether they produce the desired results of reducing waste and energy requirements and minimising primary resource use. They then compare the impacts of recycling aluminium to...

This scheme of work, produced by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate environmental issues in the context of the design and operation of a new school. Students are introduced to the concept of recycling and then apply their...
