Try, Try and Try AgainIntroduction: The RBS Six Nations has put rugby on the back pages again. This resource uses the Rugby Union scoring structure as the context for an investigation into numbers and number properties.Content objectives: - recognise and use multiples, factors, primes (less than 100), common factors, highest common factors and lowest common multiples in simple cases; use simple tests of divisibility - classify and visualise properties and patterns; generalise in simple cases by working logically; draw simple conclusions and explain reasoning - use logical argument to interpret the mathematics in a given context or to establish the truth of a statement; give accurate solutions appropriate to the context or problem; evaluate the efficiency of alternative strategies and approaches.Process objectives: These will depend on the way in which you structure the activity. It might be worth considering how you’re going to deliver the activity and highlighting the processes that this will allow on the diagram below.
