This resource contains four instant maths ideas covering: * the usefulness of a number line when understanding decimals * working out numbers that occur in between two other decimals which can be extended to look at finding values that lie between two fractions by converting to decimals * asking the class to count...

This short audio feature Bene and Mal, two rather chatty microorganisms who ask who has the right to our DNA?  They consider how it helps to solve crimes, but discuss if it is ethical to store this kind of information or if it should be kept private.

In this activity SEND pupils will learn to create a clear algorithm for someone else to follow. Pupils will create a simple model from Lego and then take photographs to create a visual algorithm to help other pupils to recreate their model. As they remove one block at a time they are learning to decompose a problem...

This collection of activities gives pupils the opportunity to use a BBC micro:bit to programme their own compass. This activity also provides a link with the art activity in the same collection, giving pupils the chance to code their own tessellating pattern using Scratch. This activity is part of a series of...

Published by BEAM, these two activities can be used to develop students' understanding of ordering and place value using numbers up to 200.

*Jigsaw uses numbers from 101 to 200. Students have to cut out the pieces then arrange them into a ten by ten grid.

*What's in a date? - students have to organise...

Published by BEAM, these games provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge of place value, number recognition and ordering.

*Nearest to 30 - students use dice to generate digits which can then be multiplied by either five or ten to try to reach a set target.

*Nearest to 500 - students...

The growth of plants in space is a keen area of experimentation, including ongoing work aboard the International Space Station. Successful crops will help astronauts to spend longer in space, boosting their healthy diet while reducing the mass of prepared food that must be transported from Earth.

Using a...

Produced by the Health Protection Agency, this e-Bug resource helps students to look at the different ways the body defends itself against harmful infections. Extensive teacher guidance and stimulus materials help to cover topics including: * How the skin forms a barrier that prevents microbes entering the body *...

In a diagram with three overlapping circles the numbers 1 to 8 have been placed so that the sum of the numbers in each circle is 12. Can students move the numbers so that the sum in each circle is 13? The resource includes further challenges such as making the largest sums possible and making every sum from 12 up...

This activity follows-on from previous exercises using the Blockly editor on the Rapid Router website. It reviews what the children have learned before they proceed to using text-based programming.

The exercise looks at the most advanced ideas used with the Blockly-based phase of the Rapid Router scheme,...

This activity could be used in Key Stage 2 as a stand-alone activity, as a focused task to develop skills in the use of the glue gun, or as part of a structures project investigating bridges.

In this activity, students develop both their skills in using a glue gun and demonstrate their understanding of how...
