This resource consists of 19 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, requiring students to: * name different solids * explore the cross sections of different solids leading to a definition of a prism * investigate polyhedral * draw...

This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘volume’. Resources comprise:

• Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem

• Act Two: further relevant...

Parts of the turbine engines for the Gravity Jet Suit are made through additive manufacturing, through a type of 3D printing using sintering of powdered metal.  This process is explained in this resource.

This activity enables students to create 3D models that represent temperature data. Via a series of video tutorials students are guided step by step through the process. Tinkercad 3D modelling software is required to do this but is freely available online, as well as access to a 3D printer. Once printed the tactile...

This beginner's guide to 3D design and printing provides educators with lessons, tips, and instructions for integrating these technologies into the K-12 standards-based curriculum.

It includes an appendix of resources for school librarians to get the most out of three-dimensional design and printing and...

This collection contains resources from the website 1001mathproblems.com by Sian Zelbo. Topics covered are 2D representations of 3D space, 3D spatial reasoning, and names of 3D shapes. The materials are ideal for use with Key Stage 3 students.  

In this resource students are asked to find the value of several calculations that involve addition, subtraction and the squaring of fractions. Students are asked to spot patterns and similarities within the questions in order to generalise. The investigation concludes bu using algebra to prove their conjectures....

This Association for Science Education (ASE) publication called Sugar Challenge was developed in association with British Sugar plc. At the time the company operated from 13 factories, all within the beet producing regions of the West Midlands and Eastern England, and...

This seemingly simple prompt leads to a rich task that can be developed in a number of different ways.

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Recommendations in this report are given in two forms: as quantitative targets for intake of particular nutrients, and as patterns of food intake. They include targets for reducing saturated fatty acid intake to no more than 10 per cent of total dietary energy, and for reducing total fat intake to 35 per cent....

This book contains simple, but enjoyable experiments, performed with common household items. It teaches students about the principles of light, elasticity, perspective, gravity, air pressure, optics, and more....

This Association for Science Education (ASE) publication about chemicals for agriculture was developed in association with Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). At the time, ICI was one of the world's great manufacturing and trading organisations. It was the largest...

The projects described here include radio frequency amplifiers and converters, test equipment and receiver aids, tuners,...
