The only resources needed are 2 dice and pencil and paper for scoring. Decide the divisors for your game, say 3 and 5. Throw 2 dice and choose between two 2-digit numbers (unless it’s a double) e.g. with 5 and 6 choose 56 or 65. Score 1 point if your number is divisible by 3 […]
Graphs and equations of 7 quadratic functions are given here.
Match them and put them into 7 sets. Write down the coordinates of the intercepts with the axes.
Make a poster showing the graph of each function with the matching equations.
In all these examples the coefficient of […]
This is a game for one or two players.
The first player chooses a positive even number that is less than 50, and crosses it out on the 100 square grid.
The second player chooses a number to cross out. The number must be a factor or multiple of the previous number.

You might like to start by investigating the patterns you get when you shade multiples of a number on a grid. Download here
For the prime sieve investigation use a 100 square grid (download here):
Circle the number 2. Put a line through every multiple of 2 up to 100.

Is it possible to draw a 5-pointed star without taking your pencil off the paper?
When you turn this star around it looks exactly the same in 5 different positions so we say it has ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY of order 5.
Is it possible to draw a 6-pointed star in the same way […]
How quickly can you find me?
I am a whole number less than 1000.
The product of my digits is 225.
I am not a multiple of 5.
Am I a multiple of 13?
Am I real? Am I rational? Am I irrational?
Now divide me by 11. Is the answer real? […]
