Christmas Calculated Colouring (HCF and LCM)

(0)
A calculated colouring activity in which students create their own Christmas card featuring a jazzy Christmas jumper! Students have to answer the questions in order to reveal the colours to shade the jumper. The questions involve finding the HCF and LCM of two numbers, the examples are mostly simple and can be done by listing rather than using Venn diagrams. Once complete and coloured in they can add their own greeting to the front and the inside of the card. This makes a great task for the end of term and gives the students a nice card to take home, with all the maths on the back of the card for them to show off! The resource includes full instructions, a clear solution and ideas for how to extend students who finish. It can easily be made into a full lesson by combining it with other resources from our Christmas bundle. Get this resource as part of our great value Christmas Maths Bundle

The hardest questions require pupils to factorise an expression where a>1 and in some cases where a is negative. Some of the hardest questions require rearranging first. Of course, the quadratic formula could be used rather than factorising if you would prefer! There are 15 questions in total so this activity would make a perfect consolidation task as the main part of your lesson. This topic is new to the GCSE for 2017 and this resource has been designed to meet the specification, it's therefore ideal for a higher GCSE class.
