That we know of yet: Multiples and Factors
Designed to assist both teachers and students with embracing mathematics at the next level. I find it most disparaging to hear teachers say - my students wouldn’t be able to do that. Expect great things from your students! Each activity has something for Year 6 through to 8 and could be explored in any style of engagement. I have attempted to embrace algorithmic thinking, Excel spread sheeting, Python coding, STE(A)M and AI. Mathematics has a rich tradition of exploring at the frontiers of our understanding.
