• TLF-IDA004340

This open-ended task challenges students to carry out a mathematical investigation using a ribbon-bow as a stimulus. They are encouraged to develop their own research questions and investigate possible solutions using using mathematical problem solving and modelling strategies.

• TLF-IDA004345

The focus of this activity is to discover the language that students are using to describe the features of shapes. Although students may know the names of many shapes, and may know the difference between a square and a circle, the description of why these shapes are different may not be mathematically accurate. Listen to ...

This game allows students to practice their skip counting skills in small groups.

• TLF-IDA004368

This small group game challenges students to use logic and problem solving strategies to name multi-digit numbers.

• TLF-IDA004339

The focus of this activity is to find out what students know and understand about length and the metric system.

• TLF-IDA004358

ROWCO is a card game that will help students practice their addition facts while playing an engaging strategy game.

• TLF-IDA004366

In this game, students add single digit numbers and subitise domino dot patterns.

• TLF-IDA004317

The focus of this activity is to encourage students to use trial and error and persistence to solve a mathematical problem.

• TLF-IDA004312

This activity uses pattern blocks to explore patterns and the relationship between numbers. Students use the blocks to create and describe other shapes and since the blocks are relational they can be used for other investigations. For example, turn the blocks into units – if the triangle is one what is the value of the hexagon?

Space Race is a simple board game that teachers can use to introduce the concept of algorithmic sequencing to students. The teaching points provided with the game assist teachers to introduce the use of an algorithm (a simple set of mathematical instructions) to describe the trajectory of an object across a grid plane from ...
