A Catalyst article about ice cores from Antarctica which contain air bubbles which record the changing atmosphere. The Antarctic ice sheet is over 3 kilometres thick; ice cores enable scientists to sample each year of snow fall in sequence. This evidence is vital in understanding how the climate is changing. The...

A number system of symbols is presented in three additions. The initial problem is to work out what each symbol represents and then to find out how to count from 1 to 20 using the symbols. This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3.

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of angle, from identifying right angles to working with bearings.

Angle pack one contains eight work cards with a wide variety of activities covering...

Connect 4: this activity requires students to choose a diagram and use their knowledge of angle facts to find the size of the desired angle. Player one answers their question then finds, and shades in with one colour, the answer on the answer grid. Player two then takes their turn, shading their answer using a...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of angle properties, from investigating the sum of the angles in a triangle to calculating the size of angles in a circle, and a separate booklet of geometric facts.
