This report, commissioned by the Nuffield Foundation, addresses two questions: • What is the range and type of research evidence from countries with high performance in mathematics that gives insights into the reasons for their relatively high position? • What constitutes high performance in mathematics learning...

This STEM Learning resource collection aims to support STEM Ambassadors to highlight the top 10 employability skills to young people, with examples of activities and discussions to support young people to develop these skills in either school, college or other settings.  

A podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The Food Standards Agency advises everyone to eat at least two portions of fish a week, one of which should be oily, because it is good for us.

Unfortunately our appetite for fish and other seafood has...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Organisms’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included 14 worksheets to supplement the students’...

This game, for two players, requires students to move around a Cartesian grid using column vectors, collecting stars as they go. Each star is worth a different number of points. The winner is the player who can collect the most points.

Students are presented with a conventional snakes and ladder board with squares from one to a hundred, except that the board contains no snakes and no ladders. Instead, certain squares contain a column vector. Students who land on these squares move their counter according to the vector.

This set of Cre8ate maths activities requires students to work with the multiplication tables, to calculate digital roots and to observe and interpret patterns. The Tiling from the square worksheet two also involves them in working with reflection. This topic and Vedic maths two explore the ancient laws of Vedic...

This set of Cre8ate maths activities requires pupils to practice number operations, to search for pattern in number and to work and deepen with their arithmetic understandings. In Vedic multiplication, these understandings are developed into simple algebra. This topic follows on from Vedic maths one and explores...

Veganuary is an annual campaign to encourage and support people to try to be vegan for January. The resources in this collection could be used to explore the links between the food choices we make, our health, and the impact on people and animals around the world, and the environment. The resources also inspire...

Purpose: Providing students with verbal feedback on their work avoids problems some students encounter when interpreting written comments. Using digital technology to record and then provide access to verbal feedback saves the teacher valuable lesson time and can be replayed by the student at will.

Teaching...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B units called ‘Energy’ and ‘Seeing and light’. This D unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a Further Science course and built on the content of the S units for Single Science. The...

Purpose: Recording a video clip of motion or colour change is an effective means of generating data, but video can also be created to communicate the methods and findings of a practical science activity.

Teaching approach: Still images, and video clips can be imported into a video editing app, where they can...
