This text explores how teachers can harness the power of curiosity in their classroom. Curiosity has the potential to enhance learning in all curriculum subjects but it has a special...

This activity gives SEND pupils the opportunity to make up a dance routine and create a clear algorithm for a partner to follow. Pupils will learn to follow instructions, create a sequence of instructions for people to follow and to understand that the order of instructions is important. Dance move cards will...

Published by BEAM, this collection provides a selection of resources for teachers of primary mathematics. Included are a number of challenging problems and puzzles, open-ended investigations, cross-curricular activities, and resources to develop, practise and consolidate students' understanding of handling data...
