This ASE SYCD: Science Year Primary resource presents case studies from two Scottish schools, one small and one large, showing how a variety of technologies has been used with children at all stages of primary schooling.

Simple guidance on how to support your pupils in using the computer to research a topic...

[b]Using positional vocabulary[/b]: the objective of this activity is for students to practise using positional vocabulary. The suggested activity requires students to hide an object in the classroom, then give directions to other students in order to find the missing object. The resource contains many prompts,...

The main aim of the study was to:

*engage students and enhance their learning in mathematics through cross-curricular work with other STEM subjects, using video as a tool to encourage students to:
- reflect on...

In this short video clip, produced by Becta, a group of GCSE students describe how they used...

This activity examines the use of percentages in research and the media. The examples used focus on the distinction between absolute and relative percentages and percentage changes. The need for improved education in the area of communication of risk is at the heart of...

This resource develops the concept of working with coordinates to interpret horizontal or vertical intervals on graphs.

Students are presented with two graphs. The first shows the number of sodas in a vending machine against time for Monday, the second shows the same information for Tuesday. Students are...

This is a problem solving lesson where students develop their understanding of the following areas:

Choosing a systematic way to collect and organise data including;

• constructing tables
• two-way tables
• frequency charts

and interpreting findings clearly and...

This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focusses on the use of fruit to power a light emitting diode (LED).

Did you know that fruit...

Produced by Becta, these case studies illustrate how information communication technology (ICT) can be used to enhance teaching and learning in science. This case study explores how Year Nine pupils produced their own revision material to share with each other using iPods.

Students produced PowerPoint-style...

This lesson develops the concept of using directed numbers in the practical context of temperatures and temperature change. Particular attention is paid to the use of directed numbers on number lines to explore the structures:

• Starting temperature + Change in temperature = Final temperature
• ...

This lesson develops the concept of classifying relationships between two quantities. In particular, students will:

• Describe a ratio relationship between two quantities
• Compare ratios expressed in different ways
• Use proportional reasoning to solve a real-world problem

An...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Reason precisely and defend their conclusions
• Use mathematics to model a scenario concerning volume

The problem is set in the context of packing a truck in the most efficient way possible...

This lesson develops the concept of making sense of the standard algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of positive integers. In particular students will work on the following areas:

• Improving conceptual understanding of why and how the algorithms work.
• Developing...

This resource from TechSheCan explores how technology is used to keep us safe online. It references cyber-attacks, facial recognition, hacking home devices and password protection. It includes lesson slides, teacher notes and a homework activity.
