Students practiced various math skills like timetables, operations, and geometry to solve puzzles and investigations. Activities included cutting shapes from a square to find the largest volume, using math concepts to solve a murder mystery, and measuring planes to think about proportions. Students also used positional language and geometry to navigate a race track, built structures from spaghetti and jelly babies, and had a competition to build the biggest tower.

2. • Number facts and timestables
• Had to reach a given answer using all four operations

3. • Given a 15x15 square
• Cut 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 etc to investigate which box gave the largest
volume

4. • Solve various maths activities o find out who the
murderer was
• Pascals triangle, Venn diagrams, ratio, nets of 3D shapes
and probability.

5. • Measure plane using metre sticks
• Think about wing span, nose length etc.

6. • Used positional language and measuring angles to navigate a car round
a race track.

7. • Investigated nets of 3D shapes
• Face, vertices, edges
• Structural competition to see who could build the biggest tower.

8. • Used spaghetti and jelly babies to build 3D shapes and a model
of Hopwood.
