A set of web-based activities related to KS1 and KS2 Literacy and Numeracy learning outcomes and a template driven structure for incorporating the activities into a local trail website.

This resource provides 15 ICT modeling, control and simulation activities set throughout the South West. Each activity is designed primarily for Key Stage One pupils, and presents a scientific, mathematical geographical challenge for investigation or exploration, ranging from building a sandcastle to flying a hot air balloon. Across the National Education Network, pupils will be able to carry out all the activities in ‘postcard mode’; completing 4 to fill a postcard which can then be sent to an email address.

Downloadable resources to support work in the Foundation Stage including worksheets, activities, photographs and videos. Includes ICT scheme of work for foundation stage.

FlashMeeting is an application based on the Adobe Flash 'plug in' and Flash Media Server. Running in a standard web browser window, it allows a dispersed group of people to meet from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Typically a meeting is pre-booked by a registered user and a url, containing a unique password for the meeting, is returned by the FlashMeeting server. The 'booker' passes this on to the people they wish to participate, who simply click on the link to enter into the meeting at the arranged time.

During the meeting one person speaks (i.e. broadcasts) at a time. Other people can simultaneously contribute using text chat, the whiteboard, or emoticons etc. while waiting for their turn to speak. This way the meeting is ordered, controlled and easy to follow. A replay of the meeting is instantly available, to those with the 'unique' replay url.

FlashMeeting users belong to one of three account types; Guest, Sign In and Booker.

The NWLG Functional Skills resources embed these skills into a practical context combined with high quality graphics and interactivity. Two fully completed Functional Skills resources are available for Maths and ICT.

Online activities on the theme of Riverside Regeneration, including an overview of Higher Order Thinking Skills.

Helping young people to become successful learners is one of the key aims of Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland.

Our knowledge about learning is continually changing in the light of research and there is still much that we do not know. This site provides an overview of current thinking on how people learn. 

Mathematical Toolkit In collaboration with Intel, the Mathematical Association and the London Grid for Learning, the Mathematical Toolkit and Number line have been designed specifically to support the teaching and learning of mathematics for pupils at Key Stage 3. The latest version allows teachers to create and save specific scenarios. Version 3, availble soon, will be a full online version.

Number line
The Number line tool offers a dynamic environment in which teachers and pupils can explore numbers and relationships between them.  In its simplest use, number lines can be created quickly and easily, and the display can be in decimal and/or fractional notation; the numbers can also be hidden. A point on the line, ‘n', can be dragged along the number line and its exact position revealed as a decimal to a chosen number of decimal places.  Further points can be positioned on the line and the environment will support pupils to make connections between related points on the line and begin to generalise about relationships using simple algebraic rules.

2-D Shapes
This tool allows the teacher or pupil to create 2-D geometric objects such as quadrilaterals, circles, triangles, lines, arcs, ray segments and vectors on a co-ordinate grid of a specified scale.  Once plotted, the vertices can be labelled and the internal angles, side lengths, area and perimeter revealed. Shapes can then be translated, rotated, reflected and enlarged on the co-ordinate grid using the transformation features of the tool. Each time a shape is transformed, a ghost of its previous position is left on the screen supporting the investigation of sequences of transformations.

Coordinates and Graphing  
Coordinate graphs can be easily created on a specified set of axes by a mouse click or a tap on an interactive whiteboard. Where it is appropriate, graphs of algebraic functions can be superimposed, encouraging pupils’ conjectures. Up to five colour-coded functions can be plotted on any set of axes and the table of values is displayed alongside the graphs. Still digital images and video clips can be imported as a background onto which coordinate points can be plotted and relationships investigated. Used in this way, real images and videos can be explored and connections made between the shape and the mathematical function that shares that shape.

Mini application produced by Northern Grid in response to requests from teachers.

A collection of high quality images, sound and video files that can be repurposed by teachers and students. All materials can be used for educational, not for profit activities.

Registered users can also upload images, sound and video files to the Gallery for use by other members of the educational community.

More than 80 flash module activities for the National Numeracy Strategy from Coventry. Ideal for use on Interactive Whiteboards 

The OLOT website brings a wide range of dynamic learning resources appropriate to the needs of the age group, with an emphasis on literacy, numeracy and music. It was developed by 3T in collaboration with the London Grid for Learning

This resource represents the breadth and range of information which has become available on the acquisition and development of problem solving and enquiry skills in mathematics.

It uses online and interactive multi-media resources including online CPD activities, video/audio clips of teachers and pupils, exemplification and practical strategies which reflect practice across a range of stages and relate the theoretical background to practice.

It has a range of other online resources which will help practitioners and managers to plan the development of problem solving skills in a classroom and whole school context.

A suite of teacher led tools and resources that support the teaching of Shape, Space and Measure.

Based on a real airport, Sophie Suitcase is a series of interactive numeracy activities for Years 2 and 5.

Activities for becoming an effective learner and managing your own learning. The site is divided into three age groups: 5-9, 10-14 and 15-18-year-olds; and four headings - Get, Understand, Remember and Do. Includes notes for teachers, parents/carers and students.
