Maths resources

Students identify windows that are covered by curtains for given fractions.

Students match the descriptions: certain, impossible, good chance, poor chance, even chance to a set of probabilities shown as a fraction.

This task requires students to interpret a pie graph about sports watched on TV and answer multiple choice questions.

Students identify the smallest fraction of a turn so that a shape remains the same.

Students calculate the scale factor and length of one side of a building extension, then draw in a different extension from a given scale factor.

Students select from a range of given numbers to complete a 4 x 4 'number square' with given row and column totals.

Students identify the coins that make up specified amounts of money.

Students solve story problems involving multiplication and division.

Students complete addition and subtraction story problems using the vertical algorithm.

Student solve addition problems where the missing value is located in different positions. This may mean that students transform the problem into a subtraction one. Students reflect on the easiest and hardest problems, and explain their choice.

Students calculate the shortest distance between two points on a grid map by using a scale.

Students match pictures of objects with a list of capacities involving litres and millilitres.

Students identify the approximate capacities of everyday containers.

Students answer questions about the total capacity in litres given the number of cups that fill the containers.

For this NEMP task students draw the other half of a shape by using its line of symmetry.

Students perform addition, subtraction and division calculations based on numbers of coloured jelly beans.

Students use matchsticks to continue a triangular spatial pattern and write a rule to describe the number needed for each pattern. They then complete a table and a rule to show the relationship between the number of triangles and the number of matchsticks.

Students calculate the area of a composite shape.

This practical task requires students to order numbers with 2 decimal places from smallest to largest using digit cards. New numbers with 2 decimal places are then created with the digit cards.

Using grids, students show three different ways of tessellating four identical shapes.

Students use sticks to continue given patterns, and identify the number of sticks needed to make the new shapes in the pattern

Students solve a number of mathematical problems involving money and distance, and compare the results to identify the cheapest taxi company.

Students make a series of rotational turns based on compass positions.

Students use sticks to continue given patterns, and identify the number of sticks needed to make the new shapes in the pattern.

Students identify odd and even numbers by colouring them different colours.
