Published by BEAM, this collection provides a selection of resources for teachers of primary and lower secondary mathematics. Included are a number of challenging problems and puzzles, open-ended investigations, cross-curricular activities, and resources to practise and consolidate students' mathematical...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. A range of sessions look at different aspects of space and shape. They illustrate a variety of teaching and learning approaches and allow practitioners to reflect and develop their skills....

The Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics stage five book, for those students following an higher GCSE course, was split into the same three sections as the previous stages’ books. Each section was divided into chapters giving relevant information and presented activities to do and questions to answer.

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. A range of sessions look at different aspects of statistics. They illustrate a variety of teaching and learning approaches and allow practitioners to reflect and develop their skills. Sessions...

Subtangent is a website of free interactive mathematics resources. This collection includes interactive investigations, games activities to test mathematical knowledge and resources for printing. The majority of the resources are suitable for Key Stages Two to Four. Some would be useful as whole class introductions...

In this section you will be able to explore: * The challenges and issues faced in post-16 mathematics education. *The research underpinning the approaches adopted by the Standards Unit to meet the challenges. *The experiences of the teachers and trainers in the pilot.

These cre8ate maths materials have been designed to support the teaching of mathematics at Key Stage Three, but can be used at Key Stage Two and Key Stage Four, in the context of social sciences. The resources include Is it fair, Islamic Design, Running a Club and Vedic Maths One and Two.

This is a CPD taster created to give teachers a better understanding of what to expect when joining one of our secondary mathematics in science courses. Below you will find a video and a task for you to do in your own time. Once you have done the activity, ...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand repeated percentage reduction.

The task begins with reducing the price of a jacket by 25%. The sale price of the jacket reduces by 25% on a further three occasions. A statement is made that ‘four reductions of 25% must mean the jacket is then free...

We know that in the current situation, STEM activities may be harder to run, especially with concerns about sharing equipment in groups.  We have selected over 50 activities that can be done in any classroom, with very little equipment.  These can...

We know that in the current situation, teaching is taking place in bubbles, where teachers and students will often not have access to laboratory spaces, or equipment.  We have selected over 50 activities that can be done in any classroom, with...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand using density.

The task is set in the context of determining if a crown is made from pure gold. Figures are given for the volume and mass of the crown. Information is also presented for the density of gold and silver.

Examples are given of...
