High quality STEM resources for 7 to 18 year old learners and a number of key resources to support classroom and whole-school pedagogy. The resource "Metacogs" is a unique resource supported by the latest research. There is also extensive use of Blooms and SOLO taxonomy behind many of the resources. If you download any resource that could be improved then please leave specific feedback and I will endeavour to improve them further.

Mathematics of Cell Magnification

(23)
A resource to investigate the mathematics skills needed for calculating magnification of cells and objects. Also covers the idea of a formula. Engaging context and has a card sort for kinesthetic activities. If used please send me feedback.
Mathematics of Perimeter I (Rectangles)

Mathematics of Perimeter I (Rectangles)

(3)
A L4 resource which goes with the Mathematics of Area resource. Good kinesthetic basis with lollipop sticks, ideal for the disengaged pupils. There is a link to a Maths Watch video and good differentiation throughout. Lacks te rich questioning but a sound basis for starting of the topic with L4 and L5 pupils. There is ample scope for enlarging the kinesthetic task and making it more problem based, less teacher-led. Follow me on twitter for updates on latest resources: https://twitter.com/boostprogress

Mathematics of Measures II - Mass (not weight) L4+

(3)
About 1 lesson on L4 measuring mass using proper scales and objects (see the science department) and then L5 converting between different measures of mass. Also starts with a fun problem-solving activity to find the sweets in the jar using the mass of one of them...so get your money out for the sweetie shop!! Being a scientist I also try to sort out the terms Mass and Weight! As always follow me @boostprogress and provide comments and feedback.

Mathematics of Symmetry I - L4+

(0)
One or two lessons on reflective symmetry covering a range of 2D shapes, including letters, flags and road signs, Progresses to some higher L4 and low L5 tasks on lines of symmetry. As always follow me @boostprogress and leave feedback on the resource.
Mathematics of Percentages - L4+ Proportions
BoostProgressBoostProgress

Mathematics of Percentages - L4+ Proportions

(2)
This lesson is for L$ + students to enable understanding of percentages as proportions. It can be made kinesthetic using blocks or cards. There is also good progression to L5+ with conversions between FDP. AS always leave feedback and comments and follow @boostprogress,
Mathematics of Coordinates II - L5+ Sequences
BoostProgressBoostProgress

Mathematics of Coordinates II - L5+ Sequences

(1)
Mostly L6 work...these lesson activities cover the generation of coordinates for equations and using equations to generate coordinates. Plenty of diffentiation. Also useful if supported by 10 Ticks resources. Follows on from the first lesson. As always the frame of a lesson and add your own flavour and enrichment. Please provide comments, ratings and suggestions for improvement. You can also follow me @boostprogress
Mathematics of Reflection I - L4+

Graphology of line graphs - L5+

(0)
A fun approach to collecting data using simple paper helicopters and cutting propellors to different lengths. Students are introduced to accurate measurement and there are options for pooling class results and investigating reliability. Then progress to graphing data using scatter graphs and possibly constructing a coversion graph relating the two variables. Ideal for the L5+ student and the disengaged mathematician or scientist! As always the activities are an outline for you to enrich. Please leave comments and feedback to further improve this resource.

A fun starter to proportions using M&M sweets. Supply students with bags of 20 MéMs with 10 of one colour, 5 of another colour, 4 of another colour and 1 of a final colour. There is a worksheet to support this and a couple of activities with cubes and cards. Great fun so give it a go. Photos soon to follow and support these lessons. Please feedback comments and follow @boostprogress.

Maths of the 2010 World Cup

(0)
As a warm-up to this summer's festivities I have put together a simple lesson for students to analyse the scores from the 2010 world cup. The table in EXCEL could also be modified for a spreadsheet or formula activity. Ideal for practicing tally&'s and progressing to more detailed analysis of mean, mode and comparing performance against ranking. Lots of possibilities and I will probably add to this resource as the lessons develop. As always leave feedback and follow at #CE4ET and #boostprogress.
Mathematics of Disease

Mathematics of Disease

(1)
You need a maths brain and knowledge of the 'disease spreading' practical. Needs a risk assessment doing. However, great fun to bring maths to life in this interesting context. Students spread a disease and then analyse the spread. Follow me on twitter for updates on latest resources: https://twitter.com/boostprogress
Mathematics of Coordinates I - L5 Four Quadrants
BoostProgressBoostProgress

Mathematics of Coordinates I - L5 Four Quadrants

(0)
Sequences, functions and graphs lessons: for getting students to find corodinates in all four quadrants, find missing corodinates and to investigate lines parallel to the x-axis and y-axis. Nice game=based starter and plenary. This includes resources that can be printed out for group tasks and some opportunities for literacy. As always follow me on twitter @boostprogress and leave me any feedack or comments.
Mathematics of Words I  - Algebraic Expressions
BoostProgressBoostProgress

Mathematics of Words I - Algebraic Expressions

(0)
This is a lesson ained at Level 4+ students where students use scrabble tiles (cards) to become familiar with numerical values of letters and begin to work with expressions. Blooms sets the cognitive demands of the scrabble activity. Highly kinesthetic and helps early understanding. Later slides also cover solving simple expressions (using cards) and there are some extension questions from CIMT at the end. A lesson plan will follow but please suggest some activities in the comments that have worked with this resource. Follow me on twitter @boostprogress

Mathematics of Measures I - Units and Lengths L4+

(0)
A couple of lessons introducing metric and imperial measures and their symbols. It then moves onto estimating and measuring lengths, before finishing with conversions between different measures of length (L5). Borrow fromthe scientists a set of 1m rulers to add a kinesthetic aspect to the measuring. You may even set a mini-competition for most accurate estimates. As always follow me @boostprogress and leave feedback and comments.
Mathematics of Fractions - L5+ Whole Integers
BoostProgressBoostProgress

Mathematics of Fractions - L5+ Whole Integers

(0)
A couple of lessons looking at finding fractions of integers (whole numbers) including both multiplication and division. Based a little around 10 ticks but some good activities for building progress and a range of worded problems to support literacy. The basis for a solid L5+ lesson and as always leave feedback and follow @boostprogress.
Mathematics of Coordinates I - L4 First Quadrant
BoostProgressBoostProgress

Mathematics of Coordinates I - L4 First Quadrant

(0)
A first lesson for L4 pupils, possibly even L3+ students, beginning with key terms, comparison of photographs of graphs drawn by three pairs of pupils and then pupils drawing their own first quadrant. Pupils then identify coordinates from the first quadrant and points find points along lines in the first quadrant and an unknown shape. Resource finishes with a game for pupils and they may design their own version as well. Many opportunities for group approaches. As always follow me on twitter @boostprogress and provide feedback comments.
