Every day in the run up to the GCSE exams we are intending to put up two GCSE problems of the day on Twitter. Here are the files you can use in the classroom. For each problem there are some variations that you might want to use instead or in addition.
The first problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher.
The first problem involves tiling a room with carpet tiles. Students have to work out how many tiles they need and how many boxes of tiles they need to buy. The alternative problem provides a different shaped room to tile.
The second problem involves students reasoning with circles and determining whether a triangle is right-angled. The alternative problem asks students to find the radius of the smallest circle.
We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHub for a chance to win a prize
