This is one of a series of resources to support the use of the BBC micro:bit. This resource focusses on pupils designing and programming a BBC micro:bit to help wheelchair athletes monitor and record their sporting performance over time.

In this activity pupils will make use of the BBC micro:bit to design...

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on mensuration and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years. Each section offers an overview of a...

In this resource from Cre8ate maths, students critically compare nutritional measures and calculate their daily energy requirements. Initially students fill in the worksheet Can we eat what we like, to prompt a whole class discussion about the consequences of a bad diet. They then use the Sugar, salt and fat...

In this practical activity, from the Royal Institution, students use paired mirrors to investigate repeated reflections and the symmetrical properties of certain polygons. Based on observations made about these symmetries, students then look at how the mirrors and reflections allow them to deduce the angles in...

This collection of practical activities, investigations and games is all based on current lunar research. It supports many aspects of working scientifically and links to area of the curriculum including: earth and space, light and shadows, forces, materials, changes of state and rocks and soils. Activities are...

Consider the topic that you are next teaching in mathematics, use the charts to find something that children find confusing in this topic. Choose a model or image to support their learning in this area of mathematics. 

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of multiplication, from exploring the two times table to expressing a number as the product of its primes.

Multiplication pack one contains sixteen work...

This selection of spreadsheets, designed by the Primary National Strategies to aid teaching and learning, tackles multiplication and division in a variety of ways. The five Multiplication and division facts spreadsheets have a four by four blank multiplication table that generates random numbers...

This resource, provided by the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, explores why multiplication does not always increase the size of a number. It explains how, by putting the term multiplying into a context with which students can identify and making a situation meaningful, this common...

This resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, illustrates the common mistakes students make when multiplying two decimal values. It suggests that the language used could be adjusted so that the term times is interchanged with of, thus one-tenth of one-tenth is...

A report from the National Curriculum Council (NCC). In January 1991 the Secretary of State for Education and Science announced an urgent review of the attainment targets in mathematics because:
• the structure of the 14 targets was proving an obstacle to...

In this resource from stats4schools, students investigate the locations and names of the National Parks and use the internet to research appropriate information within guidelines about them. They then use ICT to present their findings back to the class.

These materials, produced by the National Strategies, display the progression of certain key calculation skills from Reception through to Year Six in a poster-type format together with guidance including:
•Key objectives;
•Examples of teaching activities and...

This document, provided by the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT), describes the rationale behind the scheme. Its suggested teaching philosophy is based on whole-class activity led by the teacher and individual (or paired) work but with most students undertaking the same tasks. These tasks...

This series of books was planned and commissioned by the Centre for Curriculum Renewal and Educational Development Overseas (CREDO), which was established in 1966 to help developing countries with their own programmes of educational innovation by making available to...
