Pentominoes

(8)
This unit is made up of a number of mini activities. After finding the 12 pentominoes pupils use the shapes in the following activities: •Find the symmetry and rotational symmetry of the shapes •Investigate which pentominoes will tessellate without being rotated, then which will tessellate when rotated •Fit the shapes into varying sizes of rectangles The unit contains pentomino shapes to download and print out.
3D shape investigation

3D shape investigation

(3)
This unit is made up of three mini interactive activities focusing on the properties of 3D shapes. The first activity is based on Euler’s theory. The pupils need to find a rule that links the faces, edges and vertices together. The interactive activity allows them to manipulate the shapes on screen to count the faces, edges and vertices. The second activity has them using their knowledge of the properties of 3D shapes to form a polyhedral chain. The third activity allows the pupils to investigate which edges will meet when a net folds to form a 3D shape.
Shape & space investigation

Shape & space investigation

(1)
This is a simple open ended shape and space investigation focussing on the formula for the perimeter of a shape. This is an ideal unit to introduce younger KS2 children to maths investigation skills as the patterns are simple to spot. The unit can be used to assess AT1 or as a KS2/3 Transition project

The mystery of the missing dice

(3)
The presentation is designed to be used primarily with upper key stage 2 children but may be adapted as appropriate. It is intended that the package be used over a series of lessons, with a number of mathematical problems having to be solved at strategic points. All of the activities have a whole class teacher led input with some lessons then leading on to additional activities for the children.

Puppies - problem solving

(1)
The activities cover every area of the maths curriculum and are graded according to difficulty. Each activity can be used front of class or independently by pupils at a computer. A record page is available with each activity allowing for a maths journal to be built up across the resource.
Promoting data handling skills

Promoting data handling skills

(2)
transition project allows pupils to handle data in a real life context. Year 5 collects discrete data, finds the mode and range and displays the results on an interactive bar graph. Year 6 collects discrete data, finds the mode, median, mean and range and displays their results on an interactive pictogram.
