  1. Mr Mathepilla Rules His head must be less than 100. If even you divide by 2, if odd you add one. You stop at one. 7 1 8 2 4 This mathepilla has 5 body parts. Sticking to the rules, can you find the creature with the most body parts.

  2. Resources that engage and motivate learners of mathematics (key stage 3 and 4) Dominic Hudson

  3. Approaches to improving Problem Solving Most teachers agree that improving their children’s problem solving skills is a useful exercise. Where they tend to differ is the approaches they take. There tend to be 2...

  4. Approach 1 – Taking a problem solving approach to teach skills

  5. Approach 2 – Explicitly improving problem solving Bagging Potatoes A farmer grows 196 pounds of potatoes.. He sells them to a grocer who divides them into 5 pound and 2 pound bags. If the grocer uses the same number of 5 pound and 2 pound bags, how many bags of each did he use?

  6. Which is the odd one out? How many different reasons can you come up with?

  7. How many cards in a standard pack have an order of rotational symmetry greater than 1?

  8. The Programme • The Mathepilla problem • The Durham Mysteries • Trading game • A different type of mystery • Revision race (assessment)

  9. The great shape mystery! There is a 3 x 3 grid with one shape drawn in each grid square. Use the cards to decide which shape is in which square.

  10. The Trading Game We sell at... Calculators – £10 Protractors – £2 Compasses – £8 Squared paper – £4 Plain paper – £2 Scissors – £5 We buy at... The minimum price I will pay for a completed product is On squared paper – £5 On plain paper – £2

  11. A Professional Murder The news reporter first on the scene heard a witness say that the victim had been poisoned before being shot. The police already know of 10 notorious professional murders.

  12. 10 possible suspects Your role is very simple...you need to find the murder by eliminating each of the suspects one by one.
