This Christmas maths codebreaker uses skills learnt in multiplying 4 digits by 2 digits, Rounding to decimal places, rounding to significant figures and simplifying fractions to reveal Christmas jokes. Make your students feel like a spy trying to crack a code in a fun and novel way for students to practise rounding, multiplying and simplifying fractions.
UPDATED 16/12/19 - fixed the code box on rounding to decimal places. It was showing the incorrect on on the question sheet.
Each skill has a different sheet, so there are 4 total worksheets all with awesome Christmas clip art and answers included. The skills included here are normally taught/covered in lower KS3 but could be used for any year group as a fun consolidation.
Students need to answer the questions and find each corresponding letters in order to reveal a christmas joke. Great starter for lessons or to give to early finishers.
Suggestions for use:
Give to students to do by themselves (self differentiated or teacher chooses)
Give for homework
Use as a collaborative task - (pairs/3s work out a column each)
