This resource contains problem-solving tasks for pupils aged 11-16 years.
Each pupil will have a different worksheet to that of their neighbour yet they will arrive at the same answer.
All of the activities have a worked solution (or solutions). The tasks include algebra, geometry, proof, circle theorems, trigonometry, sequences, sine rule, integration, probability, projectiles, simultaneous equations and more.
Pupils can’t copy the working from a neighbour – they could copy the method (but that is not such a bad thing).
There is a wow factor - how can all the answers be the same? The stronger pupils will want to find out why and this leads them to want to prove it - voluntarily!
The tasks should promote discussing mathematics in and out of the classroom.
There are over 90 different tasks to choose from at the website: www.differentproblemsameanswer.co.uk.
From this page you can download the worksheets for three tasks. But there are over 90 more and you can find them (and the worked solutions) on the website above.

Superb resources, some of which I have been using for many years. Superb for firing students curiosity and many provide a challenge to stronger students in terms of proving a general result.
Clever design over a wide range of topics (on the website). I'm curious about the programming that went into creating these resources.
