26a Maths problems, puzzles and ideas (pdf)

(1)
A pdf of a 46 slide PowerPoint that introduces or utilises many mathematical concepts. Mainly for post-primary settings but elements could be used in primary. There is at least a months material for lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an introduction to the concepts involved. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use. If you think this is good, think about purchasing the PowerPoint. It allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via animated slides. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal. There are answers for most problems in the slides notes. It can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/dashboard/resource-management/add-resource/12555207/published These are the concepts covered: Match Combinations: generalisations, combinations, multiplicative reasoning Two-way grids: preparation for simultaneous equations Comparing texts: data handling, sample sizes, mode, range Direction and distance: compass directions, left and right directions, absolute, relative Rectangle: area, perimeter, asymptotes Square patterns: 1. multiplicative reasoning, graphs, tables, algebraic manipulation, sequences, linear, quadratic Dissecting a square/rectangle: tangram, square, parallelogram, triangle, proportion, percentages Problems about perimeter and area: area, perimeter Ratio and proportion mystery: percentages, ratio, proportion, average (mean) House swap: interpreting distance-time graph Probability mystery: probability, card sort Fractions mystery: fractions, card sort Venn diagrams: factors, multiples, prime numbers Broken window: logic Shikaku: introduction and development Three problems: algebraic reasoning Logic puzzle: introduction to this type of reasoning What’s it worth?: preparation for simultaneous equations Wacky races: ordinal and time logic puzzle, card sort Sudoku Znorlian: binary, sequences, card sort Roofs: algebraic reasoning Antidotes: ratio, percentages, fractions Percentage paradox: introduction to Simpson’s paradox Probability investigation: tally table, sequence of outcomes Card trick: binary, base 2 place value headings
