The Year Six resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) are part of the Mathematics Enhancement Programme (MEP) and include pages from the two practice books, each of which covers half of the year, copymasters and comprehensive lesson plans and notes.

This resource from SMILE Mathematics contains 18 activities for discussing data. Each activity includes information on the data, discussion guidance, specific questions, extension questions, possible hypothesis and a vocabulary check list.

The activities are split into six areas at three mathematical levels...

This task assesses how well students understand calculating conditional probability. Some of the tasks require either systematic listing or use of  tree diagrams.

The task features a ‘memory game’. In the game there are four cards, two have a picture of an apple on them, and two have a picture of bananas. In...

Many of the chemicals we use as drugs, flavourings and perfumes originate from natural sources but often the most economical way of obtaining them is to produce them artificially on an industrial scale.

In this...

In this resource from Shirley Fall, students are presented with a general straight line y=mx+c and are shown that the gradient of the line between any two points that lie on the line is always equal to m. Students should be encouraged to explain the proof to check...

This film, from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, explains the process of nuclear fusion. Culham Centre for Fusion Energy is one of the world's leading fusion research laboratories, where scientists and engineers are working with partners around the globe to develop fusion as a new source of clean energy for...

Taken from Issue 31 of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) Primary magazine, the Art of Mathematics focuses on Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian painter and architect. His buildings are colourful and rounded, trees are...

The first of two volumes, from SMILE mathematics, of useful and interesting activities covering a wide range of mathematical themes. Teachers describe the ways in which they have used the ideas in the classroom and provide a number of tips and suggestions to help vary...

This collection of resources provides a range of strategies for effective behaviour management, with tips and guidance and practical ideas to try out.

A collection of resources from the Geological Society aimed at secondary-aged pupils including activities to explore energy, water and mineral resources, volcanoes and earthquakes.

Ideas and resources for STEM activities with a Halloween theme for primary and secondary pupils. Take a look if you dare!

A series of STEM projects, bridging design and technology and computing, which make use of the BBC micro:bit microcontroller device.

A collection of STEM challenges created by Practical Action to support primary and secondary STEM Clubs and curriculum activity.

The first video is about defensive design considerations.  Data is not always entered in ways that a program might expect.  If this can be easily rectified without asking the user to re-input the data, it is known as input sanitation.  In addition, to prevent invalid data crashing a program, validation techniques...

[b]Functions and their derivatives:[/b] the objective of this activity is to develop skills in working with functions, their derivatives and function notation. The suggested activity begins by asking students to explain what is meant by f'(3) and what is the difference between f(2) and f'(2). There follows a...
