Students work together using a rope to create 2-D and 3-D shapes.

We talk about how mathematics is a creative open subject so this activity is an opportunity to connect some artwork with mathematics.

There are many different versions of consecutive number investigations and we are sharing a few of them.

This activity allows students to explore number patterns they make on a grid.

This activity provides an integrated opportunity for students to visually explore and create pathways on a grid.

We all use our fingers to count sometimes but do we all use them the same way?

This activity allows students to explore number patterns they make on a grid.

This activity is open and gives space for students to learn about representing in a graph with different dimensions but without numbers.

This activity is open and gives space for students to learn about representing in a graph with different dimensions but without numbers.

This activity is a valuable opportunity for students to think about estimation and making visual justifications related to the approximate number system.

We all use our fingers to count sometimes but do we all use them the same way?

This activity is open and gives space for students to learn about representing in a graph with different dimensions but without numbers.

Research tells us that it is very important for students to develop ‘finger discrimination’ that is, for students to know their fingers really well.

This is a really worthwhile mathematical investigation that students may explore together.
