If your students are unsure how to say the number 1048576 then today (Talk Like A Pirate Day) is the perfect time to begin your lesson with the Numbers in Words Starter. www.transum.org/Intro/Starte...#PirateDay#mathsresources#mathschat#lessonstarter
This is really a fascinating game based on a place value theme. Play it yourself first then unleash it on your students. www.transum.org/Maths/Game/M...#mathsresources#mathschat#mathchat#Mathsgame#game
The latest exercise to have been updates is called Box Plots. Level 3 is interesting - you are challenged to drag the points of a plot to the correct positions. www.transum.org/Intro/?ID=684#mathsresources#mathschat#mathchat
It really makes my day when I receive information about someone who has spent quality time using a Transum resource. This particular instance gave me a jaw-dropping moment: a video of Gracie Schwartz completing Level 1 of 'Divides Exactly' in just six seconds. www.transum.org/Software/SW/...
It is quite unusual for maths questions to have multiple correct answers. Not so with Diophantine Equations. Sounds advanced but quite suitable for lower Secondary students. www.transum.org/Intro/?ID=1097#mathsresources#mathschat#mathchat#selfmarking
I wonder who will solve the puzzle of the month in the Transum Newsletter and Podcast for September? 🎞️ Winter Draws On 🎞️ Heron's Formula 🎞️ Maths Minds 🎞️ Back To School 🎞️ Ramanujan Film 🎞️ Stars in Solar System www.transum.org/Newsletter/?...#mathsresources#mathschat#Puzzle#blog
Tomorrow, Saturday the 31st of August, is exactly two-thirds of the way through this year. As 2024 is a leap year it has 366 days and tomorrow is day 244. Mention it in conversation and you’ll get the same reputation as me 😊 www.transum.org/Intro/Starte...#mathsresources#mathschat#lessonstarter
This puzzle called Framed Numbers (added to the website last week) has been going down well. Students have been using different interesting strategies much to the delight of their teacher (me!). www.transum.org/Software/SW/... And if they (or you) find it too hard there's a clue lower down the page
Mixed Medians was new at the beginning of the northern-hemisphere summer so interestingly most of the 246 trophies claimed so far for completing a level went to students from New Zealand and Australia. www.transum.org/Maths/Exerci...
Find the medians of sets of different types of numbers in these self-marking exercises.
This activity keeps you on the edge of your seat (is that still an expression). The higher Levels of the Tally Charts exercise require all of your focus otherwise you might miss a car, instrument or shape! You can't get this from a textbook!!! www.transum.org/Intro/?ID=1084#Mathschet#Maths
