<p>This is a unit of work a friend and I made up to help students learn about money and budgeting in a real life context. The students must pick a job, rent a flat, buy a car, pay tax and calculate monthly expenses. The pdf’s should preferably lamented for students. Students complete a poster and give a presentation at the end of the unit. We found it can be adapted for all levels. We found it took at least a week and the students loved it. Please give feedback as I would love to hear what you think and how it could be improved. I hope you and your students enjoy it as much as we did :-)</p>
Suitable for KS2, KS3 and KS4. Funa and quick maths investigations. A collection of maths puzzles from subtangent.com. A great resource, some old and new puzzles and all are graded as to the level of difficulty.
<p>A Christmas murder mystery always keeps people alert after the Christmas pudding, so at the risk of being a bit early – here is a murder mystery for the classroom which is perfect for the end of term. Pupils are given a set of clue cards which define the task – of finding out who killed Santa – and give them all the necessary information to solve the mystery. A really nice fun Christmas activity to encourage problem solving skills inspired by the wonderful people at the NCETM. Enjoy :-) Answers now attached. Happy Christmas :-)</p>
