A Tarsia Jigsaw activity on using given facts to work out other answers. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning. By making adjustments such as removing answers and making deliberate mistakes, they can be made even more challenging and engaging to the students.

I have this problem too! Only in the last few weeks and all Tarsia files that i download. If you open it in a text editor and delete the last line (starting //) and re-save it will then work (the joys of being married to a geek). Off now to see who i report this too as it seems that it is likely TES problem. (Lots of Tarsia files can me download from Mr BArton Maths website and they don't seem to be corrupted)
Frustratingly what I am downloading is corrupted. It sounds amazing but I can't see it ... does anyone else get this problem or is it just me??
This is a brilliant tarsia which requires students to use a given sum to find the answer to another where the numbers have been multiplied or divided by powers of ten. This would make an excellent consolidation activity which would allow you to hear some student discussion on the topic. You could also use this as a starter to see how much the students were able to figure out the questions for themselves, you could then ask them to feed back what they thought and return to it as a plenary. Thank you for sharing.
