This collection of mathematics teaching materials are designed to help students discover how the Internet of Things (IoT) can connect the everyday objects around us, whilst exploring a number of mathematical concepts.
Single-lesson one-hour activities, as well as more extended five-hour activities, are available. No previous knowledge of IoT is required, and no additional equipment is needed.
This collection of STEM clubs teaching materials are designed to help students discover how communities can put measures into place to make sure people and properties are safe, and look at how the IoT can bring additional benefits to this safety.
These free Career in the Curriculum resources will help you achieve Gatsby Benchmark 4 by linking actual jobs at National Grid to the KS3 and KS4 Maths curriculum.
These resources help students understand how the subject-specific skills and knowledge that they develop in their Maths lessons will support them for future careers. We’d recommend printing these to be displayed in classrooms, presenting them at open evenings, or using them to support students when choosing their options.
We understand that Gatsby Benchmark 4 can be difficult for schools to fulfill or evidence across all subjects. These resources are designed to equip teaching staff with a better understanding of specific and real-life jobs at National Grid, and how these relate to their own teaching specialisms, to share this with students.
KS3: Students will be informed about how their mathematical fluency, especially in moving freely between different representations, could support them to become a Finance Business Partner at National Grid.
KS4: Students can identify how solving problems through mathematical models would help build the skills that they would need to become a Senior Project Manager at National Grid.
Resources are also available for the following KS3 and KS4 subjects:
Art and Design
Computing
DT
English
Geography
History
Science
