This resource focuses on the sugar content of soft drinks and the constituents of a balanced diet. Students use the data provided from secondary sources to answer a series of questions which explore the effect of drinking soft drinks on students' sugar intake and to compare this to recommended daily amounts. The...

In this activity children learn about the amount of sugar in everyday food and drink and use their maths skills to find healthier swaps. They then solve problems using the appropriate operations.

To celebrate the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games we have created this collection of resources covering a variety of sporting activities and technology in sport topics. There is a collection for primary level and another with activities suitable for secondary students. 

This series is a perfect combination between STEM and career guidance as it introduces readers to the different ways the people in this series use science, technology, engineering, and math...

These activities from Cre8ate maths explore the efficient use of space in car parks. These are two-dimensional ‘best fit’ problems which require logic and a systematic approach to find effective solutions. They give students the chance to devise and test out strategies using systematic trial-and-improvement...

The aim of this survey was to analyse the elements of successful nurture group provision and the difference that nurture groups make to the outcomes for students. Nurture groups are small, structured teaching groups for students showing signs of behavioural, social or emotional difficulties, particularly those who...

Symmetry: SMILE card 0880 is a booklet of activities starting with a number of photographs of objects that exhibit symmetry. In the first task students explore the line symmetry of different mathematical shapes by folding followed by an activity in which students make a symmetrical picture of their...

This resource contains 20 instant maths ideas designed to provide students with the opportunity to: * explore reflections of two dimensional shapes * investigate what happens when coordinates are transformed * decide whether the human face is symmetrical * design patterns exhibiting rotational symmetry * explore...

Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) has the goal of helping countries make informed decisions about how to improve teaching and learning in mathematics and science. This report summarizes the results of the TIMSS 2011 international mathematics assessment of fourth and eighth grade students...

This activity considers the probability of events happening and involves calculating simple probabilities and expressing them in terms of fractions and words. Children consider the probability of real events. They then work out the chance of choosing a certain sweet...
