We are releasing the resources we have developed for four 1-hour maths club sessions that we piloted in three schools in 2021 and have since used in seven other schools. These sessions have been successfully used with year 7 and 8 students of all ability levels, aimed at helping students have fun with mathematics. The four sessions are:
- flexagons
- codes and ciphers
- tricks
- puzzles
The first three of these come with
- a Powerpoint presentation
- a set of teacher notes outlining the preparation needed, an example script, and ideas for adaptation and extension
- photocopiable resources, where needed
(The fourth session used puzzles from the Liverpool Fun Maths Roadshow, a set of 350 puzzle problems suitable for years 1 to 13, available in English and Welsh from http://livmathssoc.org.uk/FunMathsRoadshow/ for a charge. No presentation is needed and they provide instructions for using their materials.)
The resources are available here (you will need your registration password to access the resources).
