Teaching Activities
Three of these booklets, Reasoning about numbers, Shape activities and Calculator activities were produced for schools that were taking part in the National Numeracy Strategy before it was launched nationwide for all schools. They all contained ideas and activities that supplemented the number-heavy curriculum being trialled at the time.
The Mathematical Challenges for Able Pupils book supplemented the National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies: guidance on teaching able children, published in January 2000. Its purpose was to help primary teachers cater for students who were more able in mathematics and likely to exceed the expected standards for their year group.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
Calculator Activities
The activities in this booklet from the National Numeracy Strategy make use of a calculator as a teaching and learning aid. They are intended to help children in Key Stage Two understand and practise mathematical ideas and skills. They range from 'Words' where students enter numbers from oral prompts, through puzzles and…
Mathematical Challenges for Able Pupils in Key Stages One and Two
This book of challenges for more able students from the National Numeracy Strategy contains puzzles and problems. These are accessible to a wide range of students. There are four separate files covering Years One and Two, Years Three and Four, and Years Five and Six and the solutions. The problems are intended to challenge students…
Reasoning About Numbers, with Challenges and Simplifications
This booklet from the National Numeracy Strategy was written to help students: • solve mathematical problems or puzzles, recognise and explain patterns and relationships, generalise and predict; • explain methods and reasoning orally and in writing; • suggest extensions by asking ‘What if …?’ All…
Shape and Space Activities
The activities in this booklet are intended to help students visualise and describe shapes and their properties. The purpose of the activities is to encourage students to picture things in their mind and use mathematical vocabulary to describe them, this was a key feature of the National Numeracy Strategy. The booklet contains…
