EYFS Reception Understanding the World knowledge progression map from basline to ELG across the terms of the academic year. Prior learning links to Development Matters 3-4 Years made as well as links to future learning within the KS1 National Curriculum.
This lesson is designed for KS2 students. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of three wider units, all of which are available on TES:
-Volcanoes
-Earthquakes
-Volcanoes & Earthquakes
The presentation introduces the idea that the world’s crust is split into tectonic plates and looks at how these are related to volcanoes and earthquakes.
The activity challenges students to identify tectonic plates using a map. It is differentiated two ways:
Easier – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a colour-coordinated map.
Harder – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a plain map.
Extension – Students use an atlas to find out which tectonic plate countries of the world are located on.

Dive deep into one of the most powerful ideas in mathematics — Differentiation — and help your students master the concept of derivatives as the foundation of Calculus I.
This comprehensive and interactive lesson plan introduces learners to the world of change, motion, and optimization, connecting mathematics to real-world phenomena in physics, economics, and everyday life.
Whether you’re teaching first-year university students or advanced high school learners, this resource is designed to make calculus intuitive, structured, and practical. Students will not only learn how to compute derivatives but also why they matter — understanding the story behind every equation.
**Why This Lesson?
Bridges Theory and Real Life:
Students don’t just memorize formulas — they see how derivatives describe real changes: how fast a car moves, how profits rise or fall, and how nature evolves over time.
Step-by-Step Clarity:
The lesson breaks down every concept with clear explanations, guided examples, and gradual progression, ensuring that learners understand each rule — from the power rule to trigonometric differentiation.
Critical Thinking & Application:
Beyond computation, students tackle optimization problems and rate-of-change applications, gaining the analytical skills they’ll need in physics, engineering, and economics.
Engaging Assessment Structure:
Includes multiple-choice and free-response questions, a guided practice section, and real-world problem-solving tasks to test understanding and boost retention.
Aligned With Academic Standards:
Carefully designed to meet key calculus standards such as HSA-APR.B.3, HSA-APR.C.5, and HSF-IF.B.6, ensuring it fits perfectly into university and advanced secondary curricula.
**What’s Inside This Lesson:
Comprehensive Learning Objective:
Students understand and compute derivatives of polynomial, exponential, and trigonometric functions while exploring their practical uses in optimization and change analysis.
Interactive Opening:
A real-world introduction about speed, motion, and change to connect abstract math to daily experiences.
Detailed Guided Practice:
Includes step-by-step examples (like finding the derivative of 𝑓(𝑥)=𝑥3+2𝑥2−𝑥f(x)=x3+2x2−x) and explanation of common mistakes students make when interpreting derivatives.
Independent Practice & Homework:
A variety of computation and word problems to help students build confidence and fluency.
Assessment Tools:
Ten multiple-choice questions and free-response exercises designed to challenge students’ reasoning and strengthen their problem-solving skills.
Perfect For:
University (Year 1) Calculus I Courses
Advanced 12th Grade Math Classes
STEM programs that integrate mathematics with physics or economics
Tutors & Instructors seeking a ready-to-teach calculus resource
Students preparing for college-level calculus or AP exams

In this engaging and informative lesson, children learn what symbols are, and begin to interpret and reflect on the meaning of symbols. They apply this knowledge in creating their own symbols, considering what the objects/ animals, colours and shapes that they select represent.
I used this as an introductory lesson, before then going into more depth about different religious symbols in the subsequent lessons. Children enjoyed it and it gave them a solid understanding of symbols to build on in the next steps of their learning.
This resource pack contains a comprehensive and colourful 15-slide Powerpoint, which guides teachers and students through the learning activities. A template worksheet is also provided (in Word and PDF) for the students to create and describe their symbol.
In the past, I have used this lesson with children in both Years 1 and 2 - the key learning is aligned with national expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide.
This is a quiz that contains around 37 slides of the best language quiz for world culture day to play with students where they will need to guess the language - it also comes with a hint.
All in all it contains around 14 different languages from around the world that then offers a little bit of information about the country to help promote the countries location and culture!
Enjoy!

One lesson with activities to get the children thinking about key questions.
About the unit in general:
The material in this unit contains ideas on how PSHE and Citizenship can be introduced in the early years. Many of the skills and values that fall within this area of the curriculum are taught throughout each day in an Early Years classroom. The qualities they encourage are illustrated on the following page. Three themes: • Fairness • Relationships • Choices have been covered in depth. Many of the qualities that are developed in PSHE and Citizenship are embraced within these particular subjects. They are fundamental to the Early Years curriculum. Timing In this unit most of the activities would take 10-15 minutes. However, some of the ideas presented are not full activities but suggestions of how to incorporate the topic into the everyday classroom
