Easter Egg Maths (From Primary to Higher GCSE!)
The ideal Easter mathematics resource for pupils in Primary, Key Stage 3 and studying for Foundation or Higher GCSE. One printable resource can be used with any of the ten differentiated worksheets allowing you to use it with every one of your classes or set different topics within the same lesson.
Choose from:
1) Measuring length
2) Time calculations
3) Continuing sequences
4) Area and perimeter of rectangle, triangles, parallelograms and trapezia (including reverse problems)
5) Order of operations (BIDMAS)
6) Percentages of amounts
7) Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple
8) Solving linear equations
9) Area and perimeter of Circles and Sectors (including reverse problems)
10) Quadratic equations – solving by factorisation and completing the square
Pupils use their answers to hunt for numbered eggs which, in turn, reveal letters that form a final phrase once they've rearranged it to crack the code.

Pi Day Activities Session
Take a mathematical problem solving journey (with a creative twist) through the stone, bronze and iron ages, through ancient Greece and China right up to the computer age in our quest to understand pi.
There is a presentation taking the pupils through the history of pi and introducing the tasks with video, animation and demonstrations.
6 Activities are included with the session which can last from an hour to a full afternoon and are designed to be accessed by mixed ability key stage 3 groups.
Pupils will use skills such as representing and discussing statistics, written calculation methods, problem solving, creativity and memorisation techniques. There are some dingbats to finish up. Enjoy!
