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 […]
Twenty-one gas cylinders are to be loaded onto three lorries.
Seven cylinders are full, seven are half-full and seven are empty.
A full cylinder weighs 50kg and an empty cylinder weighs 20kg.

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 […]
Complete the calculations in the picture.
What do you notice?
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.
Count in 4s to give the 4 times table: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, … 80, 84, 88, …
Now shift the 4 times table up 3 to give 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, … 83, 87, 91, …
Which tables were shifted to give the following sequences? By how much? Explain […]
