Challenging Maths activities. These activities are from the nrich website. I have changed the format and made it for user friendly, it can be used with KS3 and KS4.
Unit 3
Circles, Volume and Surface Area • Calculate circumference and area (C); calculate arc length and sector area (A)
• Calculate volumes and surface areas of prisms (C)
• Use p in exact calculations (B)
• Solve problems involving surface areas and volumes of cylinders, cones, spheres (A to A*)
• Analyse dimensions of perimeter/area/volume formulae (B)
Unit 6
Pythagoras and Trigonometry • Use Pythagoras’ Theorem (C)
• Use trigonometry in right-angled triangles (B)
• Use Pythagoras’ Theorem and trigonometry in 3D problems (A to A*)
Unit 4
Statistics I (Collecting and Representing Data; Correlation) • Design and criticise questionnaires (C)
• Use stratified sampling methods (A)
• Construct and use pie charts and frequency polygons (D)
• Construct and interpret histograms with unequal class intervals (A)
• Draw and use a line of best fit on scattergraph (C)
In light of the latest pandemic, I have created a Home School Pack for KS1 students.
This pack follows the current curriculum and promotes independent learning,
including, maths, english, art, logic puzzles.
Feel free to print off and use.
Enjoy!
Unit 9
Ratio and Proportion • Solve ratio and proportion number problems (C), including conversions (D) and other contexts
• Solve direct and inverse proportion problems using algebra (A)
