Practical activities like shaking hands, taking 2 books from a shelf and drawing the mystic rose pattern lead to understanding how to find the sum of a series and how and why different methods lead to the same result. These activities give learners the opportunity to develop logical thinking, and problem solving […]
The input to Function Machine 1 is x. Write down an expression for the output.
If the output is 7 what was the input?
In Function 2, a is constant. If the input is 4 what is the output?
The functions from Function Machines 1 & 2 are combined to give Function […]
Match the functions with their derivatives and values of the functions and derivatives.

To explain how the patterns of numbers arise:
Either multiply by (10 – 1) instead of multiplying by 9
or use the table below, first completing the calculations on each line.
Work out the different numbers to replace the question marks.
What do you notice about the patterns in these calculations?
Can you explain why this pattern occurs?
If you have Multilink cubes, sometimes called Unifix cubes, then you will find this collection of 17 learning activities will give you many good ideas for using the cubes in teaching any age group from the youngest to the oldest learners in school. (Click here to DOWNLOAD the booklet).
This square of squares pattern has edge length 5 squares. You could make this pattern with 48 matchsticks.
Work out the number of edge squares and the number of lines (matchsticks) needed to make the pattern with: side length 6 side length 25 side length 100 side length n.

Imagine you have four bags containing a large number of 1s, 4s, 7s and 10s.
You can choose numbers from the bags and add them to make different totals. You don’t have to use numbers from every bag, and there will always be as many of each number as you need.
Choose some […]
