This Barefoot Computing resource for upper-primary computing lessons uses the creation of a Scratch maths quiz as a basis for learning about algorithms using selection.

Children are asked to create an algorithm that...

This Barefoot Computing resource builds on the ‘Maths quiz with selection’ learning activities which should be undertaken first.

It involves improving an existing Scratch maths quiz and adding score-keeping using...

The first five interactive sheets deal with various types of diagram involving similar triangles. Each sheet shows a clear diagram and a table of values. Lengths of line segments can be revealed to allow the student to calculate the scale factor of enlargement and the...

This contains two excel programs with interactive spreadsheets designed to show the graphical solution to pairs of simultaneous equations and provide their solutions.

...

This file provides practice at solving pairs of simultaneous equations where at least one is not linear. The pairs of graphs and the coordinates of the points of intersection can be revealed.

The first sheet deals...

The first sheet of this interactive excel file provides students with calculations to confirm that ^a...

In this activity, students explore the questions: What are the main sources of air pollution? What is the impact of transport emissions on air pollution and the natural environment? What can we do to reduce air pollution coming from transport? To what extent can emissions be reduced if solar powered cars instead of...

This activity introduces children to simulations - modelling or acting out real-world, or maybe imaginary, situations. Linking to the teaching of space, it asks what factors need to be considered when simulating the solar system. Out of these, the children then decide what the most important things to include in...

This is a series of interactive excel sheets that explore the different methods for calculating standard deviation.

The first sheet helps demonstrate the method for finding the standard deviation from population data...

This excel file deals with the four operations on positive and negative numbers giving practice at a variety of calculations. The first four interactive sheet give sets of numbers to change into and from standard form. The powers of 10 may be positive or negative. The next interactive sheets deal with finding the...

This series of interactive excel sheets look systems in static equilibrium.

The first sheet looks at two forces acting on a point. A new question can be generated by clicking “new diagram” in which the angle and value...

This resource from the Royal Statistical Society Centre for Statistical Education (RSSCSE) consists of the level 1 units. For each unit there are comprehensive notes giving an overview of the unit, the aims and objectives for that unit, and prior learning or prerequisites and the equipment required.
