The purpose of this book, from the National Numeracy Strategy, is to identify the words and phrases that students need to understand and use if they are to make good progress in mathematics. It was designed to support the National Numeracy Strategy alongside the...

This resource from GAIM is a teacher assessment scheme, designed for use alongside any existing secondary mathematics programme of study, using open-ended tasks to encourage teaching and learning through practical problem solving and investigations.

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students convert functions into an appropriate form for differentiating or integrating and then differentiate and integrate negative and fractional powers of x. Before starting the activity students should be able to differentiate and integrate polynomial functions and...

This resource, from the Royal Institution, includes an example of a school outing that centres on mathematics. A trip to famous London buildings provides a natural context to integrate mathematics, engineering and technology. Creativity and knowledge are used to address energy efficiency issues, touch on topics...

This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can you calculate the energy used, or made available, when the volume of a gas is changed? A bicycle pump, a refrigerator and the internal combustion engine change the...

A report of the work of the APU between 1984 and 1988 and the results of the 1987 survey in which groups of 11 and 15 year olds were tested on a variety of aspects of their mathematical development.

The report begins with an overview of the work carried out in phase one of the project followed by an overview...

Primary maths series from the early 1970's.  Series composed of Units 1-4 and teacher's book.

This article, from the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM) publication ‘Mathematics Teaching’, and is taken from MT180.

Judith Steven and Kym Scott argue the importance that primary school teachers plan activities for children’s mathematical development out-of-doors. The activities should be...

These resources, written in 2011 and provided by the Joint Mathematical Council (JMC), discuss the role that digital technologies might and should have in mathematics education. Consideration is given to the types of experiences students encounter and how best to develop the curriculum to engage students in using...

Engaging Mathematics for All Learners, produced by the Department for Education, draws together the experience of teachers and their learners in a series of case studies. The rich variety of content, from using recreational activities as a starting point for classroom mathematics in a residential special school to...

This series, which formed a support package for GCSE coursework in mathematics, was developed as part of a joint project by the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education and the Midland Examining Group. The project followed the announcement in January 1984, by Sir Keith Joseph, the then Secretary of State for...

This resource from Ofsted is a full report and summary of the findings from a visit, in September 2009, made by two of Her Majesty's Inspectors to educational establishments in Finland.
