Types of number (square, cube, triangular, prime etc.)
Lesson presentations and activities
In this project students work on a set of 10 numbers to discover the properties of the numbers. For each number they fill out card with the properties, and then the information is collected from the whole class to make a display. I have blogged about this activity here: http://www.interactive-maths.com/blog/number-types-display
Included is a full lesson plan, with an instruction sheet for students; a PPT to deliver the different types of numbers to be covered; instructions on how to set up a google form that will automatically check students work and give you a printable version of the display; a spreadsheet to assign numbers to your class; the printable template cards for students to fill in, and a complete list of the numbers up to 200 for reference. You can also find an online tool for checking properties of numbers here: http://www.interactive-maths.com/number-properties-qqi.htmlReviews

Thank you for publishing your resource. It has been selected to be featured in a new secondary maths collection.
A PowerPoint with 10 starters to use or adapt, each one is a slide of numbers and students need to find primes, squares or factors and then an animation will show which ones are correct. Maybe a nice settler as doesn't take much explanation once it's up.

Really helpful, simple and to the point. Thank you
This is a rich Venn Diagram activity on Types of Number, including factors, multiples, primes, square numbers, and more!
To access all the Venn Diagram activities in this collection, as well as teaching notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/venn.htm
Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much:
1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running
2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation
3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all maths topics for all ages and abilities
4) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
5) Students can create their own as an extension task

Excellent resource requiring the use of Number Properties (Level 4) - pupils could then design their own.
Practice questions, homeworks and assessments
A worksheet with questions on all types of number. The worksheet does get quite challenging towards the end and consolidates multiples, factors, primes, triangle numbers, squares, cubes and square roots. Two starters/plenaries to assess what students know.

Batman is a little neurotic when travelling by Batmobile and will only travel down roads that have certain number properties. Can you help him plan each of these routes?

A Tarsia activity on the properties of numbers. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning. For more ideas on how to use these types of activities (including twists!) and to download the latest version of the wonderful free software to open this resource (and create your own), just click on the web-link. If you have any comments, or spot any (non deliberate!) mistakes, please share them below. Many thanks to all the teachers who have helped me assemble these Tarsias over the years.

A very nice tarsia activity based on the topic of properties of numbers. This resource could be used as a starter/plenary activity in a lesson. It is also ideal as a paired/grouped activity.
Worksheets with Qs involving square numbers and square roots. Answer to each question corresponds to a letter - spells out name of celebrity. [NB: mistake in code: letter V should be number 21]. Answers - Worksheet A: Tulisa Contostavlos. B: Denzel Washington. C: Justin Timberlake.

Great idea. Watch out for a couple of mistakes on sheet B. c) should have an answer of 13, and the number for V should be changed to 21.
