Improving Primary Mathematics (IPM) is based on practice from the most successful countries in Europe.  

This set of Interactive Teaching Programs (ITPs), developed by the National Numeracy Strategy, were originally intended for use in daily numeracy lessons to develop key mathematical concepts in the primary phase. However they can be used equally well with students in Key Stage Three for demonstration and...

Interactive Teaching Programs (ITPs) are an ICT-based tool developed by the National Strategies to support the teaching of key concepts in mathematics. Where available, manuals which describe how the ITP works and could be used are posted as separate files.

This section includes ITPs that cover:

These resources from Shropshire Centre for Mathematics Education provide a selection of mathematical investigations, which are capable of challenging students at all levels of attainment, allowing them to develop not only their powers of problem solving but also their...

This article, from an Early Years edition of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) online magazine, uses beads and threading as its key activity.

Threading is a well established activity for young children and this article gives a number of suggestions as to how the...

This article from an Early Years edition of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) online magazine describes how to use a digital camera to produce a scavenger hunt for early years students.

Feed Henry, an activity from an Early Years issue of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) online magazine, develops ideas of patterns and corresponding mathematical language.

Henry only eats patterns. It doesn’t matter what the pattern is made from - as long as it will...

Taken from Issue 31 of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) Primary magazine, the Art of Mathematics focuses on Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian painter and architect. His buildings are colourful and rounded, trees are...

This issue of the Primary Magazine from the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) takes weather as its inspiration for a number of mathematical starting points.
