The premise of this activity is that the school is sending a rover to Mars. Its mission is to search for evidence that life has ever existed there. The class must decide where the rover should land on Mars. They will do this by working in groups and investigating six potential  landing sites and weighing up the...

These five instant maths ideas explore how decimals can be added and subtracted using a number line A resource sheet for students is included in which they use the box method to multiply decimals. An investigation into the nature of the result when a number is multiplied by a decimal value between zero and one and...

This resource contains four instant maths ideas covering: * the usefulness of a number line when understanding decimals * working out numbers that occur in between two other decimals which can be extended to look at finding values that lie between two fractions by converting to decimals * asking the class to count...

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on decimals and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years....

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of decimals, from reading decimals from a scale to multiplying two decimal numbers without a calculator.

Decimals pack one contains fifteen work cards...

From the Nuffield Foundation, this module focuses on the use of decimals in multiplication and division and then on applications which include averages, speed calculations and rounding.

The resource consists of:

This resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, explores the misconception that decimals and fractions are different types of numbers. It illustrates how to write a decimal value as a fraction, as well as how, by using division, most fractions can be expressed with denominators of 10, 100 or...

Standards Unit: Improving Learning in Mathematics activities to support the learning of decision and mechanics. The 'Active Learning' session plans including starting points, processes and photocopiable resources.

This computing resource for primary schools introduces the concept of decomposition through dance. Using combinations of hand-jive, clapping or tutting, the lesson demonstrates how complex sequences of instructions (algorithms) can be broken down into smaller chunks. The children are challenged to look for patterns...

The net for a cube is shown. The each face of the cube has a different design. Four pictures of the cube are shown but one of the faces has been left blank. The challenge is to find out which design should be drawn on the blank face. This resource would be useful as an extension when teaching nets of cubes.

‘Your telescope has captured intriguing data that we need you to analyse’

In this chapter students think about the unique signatures that come back from different objects in space, including:

• analysing infrared images and comparing them to visible light
• looking through datasets that...
