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 ...

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?

This unit introduces the calculation of simple interest, as a starter for learning about compound interest. Students learn about a range of ways in which interest generally is used and applied in the real world and then use the formula for calculating simple interest to solve borrowing, saving and investment problems.

This activity allows students to explore the concept of fractions with a focus on quarters. Adaptions can be made by changing the fraction. We want students to discover that the same fraction can look different but still have the same quantity/ amount.

• TLF-IDA004278

This resource introduces a number of activities focused around number patterns. Helping children to explore, continue and describe number patterns can lead to an early understanding of algebraic concepts.

• TLF-IDA004274

The focus of this activity is for students to conduct an experiment that involves chance.They will use the information they gather to represent their findings.

• TLF-IDA004276

The purpose of this game is for students to construct arrays and to describe them in words and numbers.
