This lesson develops the concept of using directed numbers in the practical context of temperatures and temperature change. Particular attention is paid to the use of directed numbers on number lines to explore the structures:

• Starting temperature + Change in temperature = Final temperature
• ...

This lesson develops the concept of classifying relationships between two quantities. In particular, students will:

• Describe a ratio relationship between two quantities
• Compare ratios expressed in different ways
• Use proportional reasoning to solve a real-world problem

An...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Reason precisely and defend their conclusions
• Use mathematics to model a scenario concerning volume

The problem is set in the context of packing a truck in the most efficient way possible...

This lesson develops the concept of making sense of the standard algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of positive integers. In particular students will work on the following areas:

• Improving conceptual understanding of why and how the algorithms work.
• Developing...

This resource from TechSheCan explores how technology is used to keep us safe online. It references cyber-attacks, facial recognition, hacking home devices and password protection. It includes lesson slides, teacher notes and a homework activity.

A group of enthusiastic mathematics and science teachers with an interest in raising student achievement and making the link between the STEM subjects spent several months working as a STEM Knowledge Network and were able to commit time to evaluating the benefits of...

This resource for VEX IQ Modkit helps students to understand the basic principles of using blocks of code to create a programme. The Modkit blocks have been reproduced so that they can be printed and used by students for discussion and when planning their code. This resource contains a classroom presentation...

This resource uses VEX IQ robotics as a context for physics lessons. Lesson content covers an understanding of robots and their uses, forces, pressure and moments. The resources is presented with student activities, worksheets and a classroom presentation. 

This sample of a teacher guide introduces basic robotics using VEX IQ robotics kits and ModKit programming software – the activities are based upon a single robot model which can be constructed from the VEX starter kit.

Students learn about basic movement of the robot rover, as well as related challenges, in...
