This resource produced by ARKive supports the teaching of life-cycles at key stage two. It looks at mammals, amphibians, reptiles and plants and finds similarities between the life cycles of animals and plants within each group, as well as some of the similarities and differences between these groups. There is a...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of how students use graphs mathematically, from reading information from a graph to using graphs to show distance, velocity and acceleration.

Using graphs pack one...

This resource develops the concept of working with coordinates to interpret horizontal or vertical intervals on graphs.

Students are presented with two graphs. The first shows the number of sodas in a vending machine against time for Monday, the second shows the same information for Tuesday. Students are...

This is a problem solving lesson where students develop their understanding of the following areas:

Choosing a systematic way to collect and organise data including;

• constructing tables
• two-way tables
• frequency charts

and interpreting findings clearly and...

This lesson develops the concept of using directed numbers in the practical context of temperatures and temperature change. Particular attention is paid to the use of directed numbers on number lines to explore the structures:

• Starting temperature + Change in temperature = Final temperature
• ...

This lesson develops the concept of classifying relationships between two quantities. In particular, students will:

• Describe a ratio relationship between two quantities
• Compare ratios expressed in different ways
• Use proportional reasoning to solve a real-world problem

An...

This lesson develops the concept of making sense of the standard algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of positive integers. In particular students will work on the following areas:

• Improving conceptual understanding of why and how the algorithms work.
• Developing...

In this activity, students take the role of data analysts of the World Water Resources Board (WWRB) a fictional organisation charged with providing financial aid to countries most in need of water. They will compare the availability of water in Algeria, Jordan and Turkey. Students will determine how to fairly...

In this activity students consider the questions:

• How can the purity of swimming water be tested?
• What exactly is the Blue Flag award?
• How reliable are the measurements and the criteria for the Blue Flag award?
• What is the status of the quality of fresh and salt water for swimming...
