In this activity from Nuffield, students are asked to develop an experiment to measure and test people's reaction times. They can use any equipment available in the school/classroom, and will need to consider the reliability of their experiment and how any data collected will be analysed and presented.

In this activity students tackle the problem of assigning a level of difficulty of various texts and books. The reading age is about the level of difficulty of text rather than the reading competence of the reader. The resource comprises an overview, teacher guidance...

Formulae is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students will be familiar with the term 'reading age' and here they apply different formulae to a selection of text samples, before comparing and considering the accuracy of the results obtained.

Substitution into...

Note - These lessons use the book 'Ready Player One' as a starting point, teachers will need to obtain a copy of the book before using the content, the school library may have a copy that could be used.

This role-play activity, from Eurostemcell, allows students to explore some of issues around stem cell research and its medical applications, enabling them to think about and develop their own views on this very exciting, controversial field. The role play has been designed to address the following issues:

Produced by the Spode Group with the intention of providing a collection of applications for teachers and students to be able to appreciate relevant uses of mechanics. The applications include: *N men in a boat - components and moment forces *High jump techniques - projectiles, impulse, centre of mass *The shot...

From the LSIS, these materials cover two sessions designed to take students through the basic principles of manipulating and solving equations. The learners work through building an equation, checking the equation and solving the equation. They are then asked to create their own equation and swap it with a partner...

This resource contains an interactive spreadsheet designed to illustrate teaching points and which could be used as the basis of investigations which involve reasoning about number and shape. Each page of the spreadsheet contains a different activity:

This booklet from the National Numeracy Strategy was written to help students: * solve mathematical problems or puzzles, recognise and explain patterns and relationships, generalise and predict; * explain methods and reasoning orally and in writing; * suggest extensions by asking ‘What if …?’ All the activities...

This resource aimed at the Early Years, provides two weekly plans which help support children in counting and addition. The objectives covered in the lessons include reciting numbers to 10, then 20, counting to 10, matching one-to-one, recognising numbers, matching numerals to quantities and ordering numerals to 10...
