I saw an example of a square with a couple of lines drawn on it. A couple of angles had been labelled with sizes and then the students had to find the missing angles.
I got a bit carried away with creating more of these to use in my Maths Problem Solving lessons. There is basically 5 different questions -each harder than the last. Four of the questions are also produced on a one sheet of A4 to make a homework sheet.
The original SMART Notebook which I used to create the diagrams is included so that you can adapt and change to suit your own learners.
You can use this in many ways....
The SMART could be used to "teach" it first - it has a mix of other questions to build it up
The sheets can be printed onto A3 and the students work collaboratively around the tables in groups.
The sheets can be printed onto A5 or A6 to stick in their books and do solo.
The sheets an be printed on to A4 then give to individuals to do. Afterwards scan them in and get them to go through and critique their solutions on the IWB - great for Maths mastery and Collaboration.
Etc...
The "create your own problem" has been praised for being able to assess the students understanding as what they can do is one thing but what they are confident at creating is often a good indicator of their progress.
There is an error on one of the sheets. I've corrected the answer sheet to fix it.
