These research reports, published by LSIS, describe a wide range of projects that have been performed by providers of post-16 education and training. The research has been performed by practitioners in STEM subjects in diverse institutions.

Primary mathematics series from the early 1970s which incorporated some elements from everyday life.

A collection of ideas from Susan Wall for use in the A-level mathematics classroom. The activities are written in a manner designed to engage student participation, promote discussion and enhance understanding. Each activity is accompanied by teacher notes suggesting how the task should be approached. The tasks are...

This collection from SMILE contains resources with a variety of activities for students from Key Stages Two to Four.

They cover mathematical reasoning to develop thinking skills, using spreadsheets, whole school projects and transition from Key Stage Two to Three.

A collection of STEMNET case studies which profile activities completed by STEM Ambassadors. The activity case studies accompany a set of career case studies which describe the roles of the STEM Ambassadors who lead the activities. STEM Ambassadors are volunteers of all ages working in a range of STEM-related roles...

In this STEMNET activity case study, design engineer and STEM Ambassador David Bennett describes how valuable he believes STEMNET activities are for schools.

David devotes about two days per month to STEMNET activities. He helps with careers events, advising students on what employers are looking for, how to...

In this STEMNET activity case study, Graduate Engineer Andrew Keen describes a 'real life' project that he designed for sixth formers which involved developing an engine component. The Fuel Systems Team of his company was so impressed with the project that it is now working on a prototype component.

Primary maths series from the early 1970's.  Series composed of Units 1-4 and teacher's book.

Add-ons are part of the T5 (‘Targeting level 5’) pack. There are twelve Add-ons, each covering one of the major areas of mathematics drawn from the level 4–6 Key Stage Three National Curriculum test papers, with a particular emphasis on those areas crucial for achieving level 5.

Each Add-on includes four to...

This interactive excel file deals with column addition of integers, money and decimals. The first interactive sheet shows pairs of numbers to be added and students can click beneath the columns to check each stage of their working. The next sheet shows the addition of...

This activity is based upon addition and subtraction of integers, requiring students to find patterns and relationships, develop formulae and prove results.

The resource consists of printable worksheets, teachers' notes and solutions.

The activity can be extended by the use of algebra to explain...

This resource features a selection of questions requiring students to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers.

The questions are split into three sections: must, should and could. Students are directed to complete the first question in each row. Students then decide whether they are confident enough to...

This lesson develops the concept of adding and subtracting directed numbers. The activities address common misconceptions about the addition and subtraction of directed numbers. Students explain their reasoning using diagrams.

The activities use the ‘charge’ model of directed numbers. For example, a diagram...
