Published in January 1980, this report sets out preliminary views on the form that a framework for the proposed National Curriculum should take and the ground it should cover. The ideas were presented to start a consultation process, leading to a curriculum that would apply to schools nationally and promote...

This resource contains a collection of dynamic and interactive spreadsheets designed to illustrate teaching points on the topic of angles.

The first sheet provides screens on the following:

Beginnings, from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, is concerned principally with students in their first few years at school and how their experiences of life gradually extend their mathematical thinking.

This guide is a 'beginning' in another way; it is concerned with some of the basic ideas at the...

This is the parallel Guide, from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, to Beginnings (Circle series). It deals with the early awareness of both the meaning of number and the relationships which can emerge from everyday experiences of environmental play: measuring, length, capacity, area, time and size.

A collection of forty six mathematical investigation ideas suitable mainly for primary students with some suitable for lower secondary students. The activities in the booklet cover: enlargements, halving, colouring flags, matrices for young children, using isometric paper, using triangles to produce hexagons,...

This activity pack provides a range of activities that promote cross-curricular learning, so that STEM can be linked to other curriculum subjects and to children's own backgrounds, lives and interests. It has been designed for British Science Week 2024 on the theme of 'time'.

Activities are suitable for...

This resource from the National Assessment Agency (NAA) came into being as a result of the changes in the statutory assessment of children at the end of Key Stage One in 2005. A key aim of the changes to the assessment arrangements was to emphasise the importance of...

In this activity children are challenged to solve a range of problems relating to capacity in a meaningful context. Children choose a card from a series of cards with capacities indicated on them. They then work in pairs or small groups to discuss how they can create the quantity by using three containers of...

This resource contains a set of achievement certificates for you to print out and award to children. Certificates are for many different subject areas including: science,...

Check up 1 the first of the guides from Nuffield is complementary to Mathematics Begins to which there are numerous references, it is strongly recommended that this guide is not used independently.

These resources, from the Nuffield Foundation, follow a previous study which reviewed the available research on how students learn mathematics. Probability is the focus here and this review, published in 2012, was commissioned to explore several aspects of the topic....

In this problem solving activity children choose and carry out a range of calculations in order to plan a Christmas event. The party has to suit a particular number of people and fit within a specific budget so they have to make decisions by looking at realistic pricing options such as: per-person, according to...

These guides from the Nuffield Mathematics Project follow on from the Beginnings guide. They deal mainly with number but also cover weights and measures. In Computation and structure 2, the concept of number is further developed. A section on the history of natural numbers and weights and measures...
