• TLF-IDA004293

This activity is designed to encourage students to engage with a problem, before they overthink it. Too often in class we begin with what is familiar to students and gradually increase the challenge. This problem begins with a challenge and encourages students to work backwards to solve a simpler problem, before applying ...

This class warm-up game focuses on practising addition and subtraction strategies and developing algebraic thinking by using a rule applied to a list of numbers.

• TLF-IDA004326

This collaborative task challenges students to assemble 27 small cubes as one large 3 by 3 by 3 cube, with 9 different colours visible on each face. The task develops spatial awareness, particularly when the task is extended beyond creating a large cube.

• TLF-IDA004344

The focus of this activity is to encourage students to check their shape to ensure/prove that it is a hexagon. Students need to develop an understanding that good mathematicians find solutions to problems, check to see if their solution is correct and explain their thinking.

• TLF-IDA004360

This game, played in pairs with a of dominoes, challenges students to create fractions and compare their values. The player with the higher value fraction wins each round and the associated domino. The game is played until one player owns all the dominoes.

In this activity, students examine the representation of patterns, including as diagrams, charts and formulas.

• TLF-IDA004273

The focus of this activity is to encourage students to measure, order, compare and check the mass of a range of objects using hefting (holding something to test its mass) or formal units of measure.

• TLF-IDA004289

This activity is designed to see if students are able to apply their addition strategies in order to find the total of their collection of cards. Often students will have a method for adding two numbers, but when asked to add a list of numbers they revert to less efficient methods.
