This lesson activity further develops Python programming ability by introducing additional commands such as WHILE, IF, ELSE and ELIF. Debugging of programs is featured, and extension activities lead to the writing of functions that use COUNT IN RANGE() to control repetition. Students are also encouraged to mark-up...

In this Rapid Router activity, children progress from block-based programming to the textual environment of Python. In doing so they learn about the nature of text-based coding, including the need for precise syntax and how it is structured.

The progression is handled gently, with code compared in both...

This activity explores the concepts of pattern recognition and problem decomposition. It illustrates these ideas using a popular children's book, "We're going on a bear hunt" by Michael Rosen.

Children are asked to apply their understanding by then creating functions using the Blockly editor on the Rapid...

The introduction to this resource from the Royal Statistical Society Centre for Statistical Education (RSSCSE) discusses the place of statistics in the National Curriculum and how each of the four areas:

*The handling...

This activity helps learners begin to consider some issues involved in setting up their own business by making an initial, outline, mathematical model of the costs involved in setting up a business. Learners are required to work in small groups to create a poster showing the factors they would take into account,...

This activity supplies students with a grid of numbers and a series of questions. The answers to the questions are located somewhere in the grid. Once found, students shade in the answer. When complete there will be some answers unused. These are added to gain the target number. Number bonds to ten requires...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), challenges students to use their mathematical skills to calculate the critical dimensions of the tunnel that will be built. It could also be taught in design and technology or engineering, with the...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe how the male and female reproductive structures work collectively as a system to produce and release gametes.
• Explain the importance for fertilisation of the chromosome...

This game teaches students the main principles of sexual selection and the difference between intrasexual and intersexual selection. Students discover why some animals have ornaments to attract mates (intersexual selection) while others have weapons to fight for mates (intrasexual selection).

Please note...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Identify the two types of reproduction (sexual and asexual) that take place in plants.
• Describe the function of the male and female reproductive structures in a flowering plant....

Four equilateral triangles are presented with different patterns shaded. The challenge is to find the triangle which is most fully shaded. To arrive at a solution requires both spatial awareness and use of fractions. This resource is suitable for Key Stages 2 and 3.

This four-lesson sequence teaches students to create multimedia for a given purpose. Using digital cameras and special desktop publishing software, students create a comic-book representation of the life of William Shakespeare. They are required to plan and execute the project from the beginning and to evaluate...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of shape, from making shapes from rectangles to exploring weaving patterns.
