A fantastic 'Logic Puzzle Trail' display that looks good and can be used in corridors or classrooms for group activities or competitions. The activity features a maths superhero of my own creation, CAPTAIN PI! (Yes I know I'm a geek!), His trusty sidekick Theta the Dog and their nemesis, Dr Surd!
Loads of logic puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty (complete with solutions!) and pictures to go with each one to make the display more eye catching. You could add different pictures if you have some better ones.
Title letters that can printed out on coloured paper if desired.
I have also included character symbols so students can distinguish between the difficulty of each puzzle and a sheet of smaller identical symbols to go with each puzzle (the small circle next to each puzzle in the picture.
Easy - Level 1 - Theta the Dog
Medium - Level 2 - Captain Pi
Hard - Level 3 - Dr Surd
Also included are a sheet of Captain Pi's space boot footprints to lead students around the trail and add an extra eye-catching element to the display!
This display is in the corridor and I have used it previously as a competition for students to come up with solutions and submit to me for a prize draw. It could also be used in classrooms as a more scaled down version to start tasks and discussions. Fun and challenging!
Fantastic 4 page end of topic summary test + answers. Complete with marking grid to give students easy to read feedback, tips for improvement and extension work.
Great for showing comprehension, then progress if students are given time to make correction or attempt the extension (with solutions) based on teacher feedback.
In this test:
Parts of a circle
Are/Circumference of a circle
Vol/Surface area of a cylinder
Area/Arc length of a sector
Vol of Cone/Pyramid/Sphere
Surface area of a cone/sphere
Lots of other topics and levels available.
An unusual and eye-catching maths display based on Taxi Cab Geometry.
A great way to engage students and introduce them to different types of geometry. Also good intro to distance between two points using Pythagoras, loci and perpendicular bisectors.
Full resources that I have created myself.
Title letters
Descriptions
Distance between two points diagrams and descriptions
Circle/Ellipse/Parabola/Hyperbola diagrams and descriptions
(the files 'e' and 't' denote the loci in Euclidean and taxi cab geometries)
Perpendicular bisectors with diagrams and descriptions
Not included due to copyright are the two pictures I haven't created myself - the taxi and the grey square - both easily available online,
