This National Strategies Study Plus unit has been designed to cover a number of areas of mathematics, particularly work with number and algebra. It also addresses a range of learning styles along with links to literacy and ICT through the use of spreadsheets.

Using the topic of fractals, studnets explore...

This activity requires students to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a fraction. Students perform calculations, the answers to which are converted into code words. Questions are in three groups: addition and subtraction of fractions,...

The curriculum objectives covered by this resource are:

• To be able to compare fractions and determine if they are equal where denominators are not common
• To be able to compare fractions and determine if they are greater or smaller
• To be able to justify answers

The Fractions (General) resource here contains nine instant maths ideas exploring what is meant by a fractions, showing fractions by shading using squared paper and isometric paper, exploring what fraction of words are made up of one letter and investigating why some cancelling does work and others do not. There...

This resource contains three excel files dealing with various aspects of fractions.

Fractions of X (mental arithmetic) This excel file has four interactive sheets. Each sheet shows sets of questions where students find the fraction of given amounts. Answers can be revealed and new sets of...

This resource contains seven instant maths ideas covering a whole range of suggestions that may be used as starter questions, extension questions or probing questions to assess understanding. Areas covered include: * drawing number lines to aid conversion between fractions, decimals and percentages * resources to...

In this activity, students have to use their knowledge of fractions, decimals and percentages in order to check whether the correct answers have been given. By checking the given answers and spotting errors, students identify who committed the crime, who the victim was and who were the other two suspects, where the...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

This resource includes a variety of activities which can be used to give students practice in converting between fractions, decimals and percentages.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

This worksheet challenges students to use frequency tables and tally charts in various design and technology contexts. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

In this lesson plan and associated presentation from CensusAtSchool, students are asked to remember how many frogs are on a slide when they have only had a few seconds to look at this. A student who has not been present is then asked to question the students about how many frogs were on the slide. Students will...

This collection consists of two videos presenting mathematics and science lessons which aim to help students to understand how their mathematical skills relate to the real world but also to encourage students to think about careers in STEM professions. The teachers use real-life examples and role-play to motivate...
