In this resource from Cre8ate maths students have the opportunity to work with complex charts, used by professionals who monitor the physical development of children.

The activities, for students to undertake, include...

Hexaflexagons: SMILE card ...

This resource provides a cross-curricular design and technology project which links to work on the lungs and respiration. Children design and make a device to measure maximal exhalation volume. They also discover more about the work of biomedical engineers throughout the process. This resource was designed for use...

The Propagator project introduces students to hydraulic systems and their inner workings. Using a...

In this resource, students attempt to apply their understanding of heat transfer (convection, conduction and radiation) to the novel case of the Beagle 2 Lander.

Students are set the challenge of creating the best...

This set of Cre8ate maths activities requires students to think about place value, divisibility and remainders. It also requires logical thinking. Computer codes with check digits are widely used in the retail and banking sector. This activity focuses on one long-established code – the International Standard Book...

Sometimes a small, seemingly insignificant, variation in the specification of a problem makes a huge difference in how difficult it is to solve. This activity, like the The...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at image scaling, which is an important first step that all astronomers perform when looking at image data. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from...

Imaginings: SMILE card 2112 is a collection of multi-levelled activities to develop mental imagery skills. The...

This indices resource contains 21 instant maths ideas covering: basic understanding of powers, statements for which students are required to say whether the statement is sometimes, always or never true, a number of investigations including finding 'happy numbers', the number of squares on a chess board and the...

This resource from Colin Foster contains nine instant maths ideas containing an activity to assess whether students can use the less than and greater than signs appropriately, an activity using a number line on which to represent inequalities, a number of true or false activities and an exploration of quadratic...

This Cre8ate maths activity focuses on reflection and thinking about translation or rotation. It also uses co-ordinates to develop a non-standard transformation. The topic provides rich opportunities for cross curricular work and can also provide the focus for off-site activities.

Designed for teachers and STEM Ambassadors, this guide to the James Webb Space Telescope contains sections on the design of the spacecraft and instruments, and the science objects of the mission.  Advice on which information is appropriate for primary and secondary level is included.

Jassel Majevadia is currently completing a PhD which will contribute to the safety of nuclear energy. Working on her Mac in coffee shops at Imperial College, she is able to apply her knowledge of mathematics and physics to perform new calculations and improve understanding of the way in which tiny bits of materials...
