Which Spinners?
This NRICH maths activity is intended for students who are already familiar with sample space diagrams. The interactive file offers an ideal context in which to consider the messy randomness of experimental results and the certainty of the long run results. Working backwards from the graphs should help students notice more features…
Odds and Even
This NRICH maths task offers a good way to reinforce number properties at the same time as encouraging pupils to think about likelihood. It offers an opportunity to explore and discuss two types of probability: experimental and theoretical. The simulation generates lots of experimental data quickly, freeing time to focus on predictions,…
Cyclic Quadrilaterals
In this maths problem from NRICH, students will be working with cyclic quadrilaterals. A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices lie on a circle. This maths problem from NRICH is in two parts. The first part consists of four similar challenges which provide building blocks to help you to solve the final challenge.…
Semi-Regular Tessellations
This NRICH maths challenge could prove suitable for students who have learnt how to work out the angles of regular polygons This activity supports the idea that the interior angles of regular polygons are a crucial factor in determining whether the regular polygons will fit together or not. Students are asked to work on paper…
