Simple and more advanced historical data sheets of survey data submitted by schools in previous years that can be used to answer statistical questions such as 'In which year did classes report the lowest number of starlings?' or 'Did we see more or fewer of each species than the average numbers from last year?'...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand proportional reasoning.

The task is centred around burgers costing $3.50 and $1 000 000. Students must calculate various quantities related to the two initial figures. As an example, one question asks;

‘How many years does it take to earn...

These reports from QCA evaluate the National Assessments at Key Stage Three. Their purpose is to provide schools and those involved in the training of teachers with detailed information about student responses to the National Curriculum tests.

Produced by Becta, these materials consider five major opportunities for children to use ICT in learning mathematics: learning from feedback; observing patterns and seeing connections; exploring data; teaching the computer, and developing visual imagery.

These materials look at how primary children can learn...

Produced by Becta, these materials consider six major opportunities for learners to benefit from the use of ICT in mathematics. These opportunities may be developed through a wide range of ICT, such as standard and graphic calculators, spreadsheets and interactive software. The areas considered here are:

This Nuffield Chemistry book was published in 1966 as a result of the demands for more detailed information from teachers who had taken part in the first trials of the new approach to teaching chemistry in the early 1960s. The authors warn that the Sample Scheme set out in the book probably contains more detail...

The Nuffield Secondary Mathematics core books, provided stimulating investigative tasks for all students in any one year group. In their core work, students were expected to develop skills and use and apply the mathematics which they have learned in their topic work....

Provided by the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME), this resource was written in 2002. It includes recommendations on the steps to be taken, at that time, to raise the quality of mathematical provision in schools. Concerns regarding the poor uptake of students continuing to study mathematics at Post...

This UNESCO publication draws on a wide range of research into pedagogical approaches that aim to engage learners and lead to desirable outcomes in mathematics. The report looks to deepen the understanding of educational practices that optimise opportunities for mathematics learners.

The report aims to...

This UNESCO booklet summarizes the mathematics chapter from the 'Handbook of research on improving student achievement', published by the Educational Research Service.

The handbook highlights research on effective teaching and learning practices. The practices included reflect both emerging strategies and...

A challenge testing mathematical, communication and teamwork skills.

• Senior Mathematics challenge

This paper, produced by the National Strategies, provides guidance on how the using and applying mathematics strand of the 2004 Strategy’s revised Framework is structured and how it might be embedded in the primary mathematics curriculum.

One of the aims of the renewed Primary Framework is to give greater...
