Combining maths and computational thinking, this Barefoot Computing activity for upper primary uses linear number sequences to introduce algorithms in computing. Children work collaboratively to apply logical thinking and pattern recognition - key concepts used across the Barefoot Computing project. While using...

This activity combines computing and maths to look at algorithms. Children are challenged to solve missing number problems in number sequences, using logical reasoning. Additional challenges are then presented, and children are asked to share not just the answer, but the approach they took to solving the problem...

In this activity, pupils design a costume for participants running in the London marathon. They need to consider how modern and smart fabrics could be used in their design, such as those that wick moisture to keep runners cool and dry.

They will also need to consider how to make their costume eye-...

This activity, using the theme of the London Marathon, introduces the idea of creating a route map, highlighting the key landmarks, as a graphic product. The activity has cross-curricular links to geography and history.

Short activities designed for the ASE SYCD: Science Year Primary CD-ROM to help children develop their observation skills in the environment.

The resource includes ideas for making up an investigation kit of easily obtainable 'bits' for each child, and simple ideas of how to use them to find out more about...

This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in design technology and mathematics.

In this activity, pupils are tasked with designing a new item of luggage that travellers can use to store...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at Lunar exploration. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic glimpses of...

These materials, produced by Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT), contain masters for many of the resources required for the lessons in the Primary extension. They include number lines, operation signs, and 2-dimensional shapes.

You may have seen Maggie Aderin-Pocock presenting BBC's The Sky at Night, asking Jeremy Paxman to hold a torch while she described a lunar eclipse, or on the sofa of a breakfast television show or The One Show talking enthusiastically about science. You may not know that she has hung out of the back of military...

In this activity students make their own zoetrope, which creates the illusion of a moving pictures by rapidly spinning individual static pictures. A movie is traditionally made from 24 frames of individual images played per second to create the moving picture.  Originally a vintage toy from the 1830s, a zoetrope (...

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 developing understanding of magnetic materials by producing a maze game.
