This resource looks at extremes of temperature on the Earth, and inside and outside the International Space Station. Students must find data, draw bar graphs and perform conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

A selection of resources from Farming & Countryside Education (FACE) linked to mathematics at Key Stage Two. Each resource is either a worded problem or an activity related to the countryside. They can be easily fitted into mathematics lessons or given for homework after teaching the topics in class. The areas...

This resource focusses on producing a tally chart to record and analyse data about favourite colours. This activity introduces tally charts to the pupils as a really quick and easy way of recording data. They will learn how to produce one and how it can be used to find out the favourite and least favourite colours...

This Cre8ate maths activity allows the opportunity to discuss the modelling function of mathematics. The tasks allow students to develop their own strategies and to consider the idea of an ‘efficient’ algorithm. In addition, 'First fit and full bins' activity involves work on ratio and pie charts.

Six shapes are presented in different 3D orientations. The task is to find which of the shapes is identical.

The numbers from 1 to 9 are to be placed on a grid superimposed on a flower. The challenge is to ensure that the total of each line gives an equal sum. This resource is designed to be used after the ‘Number Bond Garden’ puzzle. The resource is suitable for Key Stage 2 students.
