Review: This is a calculator puzzle lesson plan from a Canadian teacher. This lesson was designed to allow young children to explore number patterns and relationships while introducing them to the calculator at the same time. It is well set out with clear learning objectives. The lesson plan does not appear particularly attractive but nevertheless contains some good approaches to introducing and developing the use of calculators in young children. Although not from the UK, this lesson could certainly be used in UK classrooms. worth a look!

Review: Questacon is the National Science and Technology Centre in Canberra, Australia. Herring Illusion is one of many fun educational activities on the Questacon website. Herring Illusion is an optical illusion based on horizontal lines and a spiral pattern. Are the horizontal lines straight or curved? Try moving the spiral pattern around, what happens to the lines? Now try moving the lines, does this make any difference? When you have finished ‘playing’ you can then read the explanation about the illusion.

Review: This website is a useful step by step guide to tiling and tessellations, from the basic combinations and the way shapes link, to complicated patterns that might not be regarded as tessellations. This website goes in to the subject of tesselations in great detail and includes tutorials that could make the basis of a successful lesson plan. There are examples of tesselating shapes and links to other websites where teachers or students could get further information.

Review: This is a useful worksheet form the Primary Resources website which offers a wide range of excellent free materials for Primary teachers. This is a worksheet which aske pupils to identify multiples of 5 from a list of given numbers. They then have to double those numbers. The activity encourages pupils to identify patterns in their answer (ie. all doubled multiplies of 5 must end in a 0) This could be useful not only for looking at multiples af 5 but also could lead to some interesting discussion based around number patterns

Review: This is a very large site which explores the link between colour and maths. It is not the easiest site to navigate but it is worth persevering as there are some interesting ideas. In addition to the argument put forward that colour can aid mathematical learning, there is a wide range of programs and other software that can be downloaded from the site which might well be useful in schools. The site is geared towards more advanced students but there are activities that might be suitable for younger children. There is also an impressive maths picture gallery containg many colourful geometrical and matematical patterns. This is an unusual website that is worth looking at. It does contain some interesting activities but it is quite hard to find what you are looking for! Beware of the American spelling and links to non national curriculum maths.

Caterpillars

  
Mainly suitable for:
Well suited for use in UK schools KS1, KS2
Review: A worksheet on which children investigate patterns of numbers. Having been given a caterpillar which follows the rule they are then asked to complete each caterpillar. The rule is that they add 1 to an odd number and halve an even number until the number one is reached. Children are challenged to find the shortest or longest caterpillar when starting with a number under 20. This would be a useful sheet to use when asking children to record results in an investigation. Children could work in pairs to find out what happens with different numbers as starters for the caterpillars. The greatest value would be in sharing results and discussing what they had found out.

Patterns of 3

  
Mainly suitable for:
Well suited for use in UK schools KS1, KS2
Review: Two worksheets that can be printed off in order for children to investigate patterns of three. The first asks children to count on in threes using the number grid and colour the numbers they land on which range from 1 to 50. Children are asked to look at the patterns they have made and to write the numbers they have coloured in boxes. If this activity was used as part of a class activity it would be useful for children to talk to each other about the patterns and the numbers they have coloured and then report back to the whole class in a plenary session. The second sheet is a number square using the same numbers but starting in the middle with the numbers going round and round until the largest are on the outside. Children are again encouraged to count in threes and colour the numbers they land on then compare their results to the first grid they completed. An excellent investigation which practises the skill of counting in threes but asks children to compare results.

Review: Links to Topology and Geometry games online and classroom resources, which can be purchased. Some of the games are interactive – crossword, tic-tac-toe, jigsaw, some need to be downloaded – Kali (drawing symmetrical patterns), KaleidoTile (tessellations of a sphere) and Curved Sphere (3D animations). The classroom resources ‘Exploring the Shape of Space’ introduce students to the mind-stretching possibility of a "multiconnected universe". The students learn by using paper-and-scissors activities, pencil-and-paper games, computer games, and a computer-animated video The Shape of Space to explore geometry and space.

Site owner's description: Designed for KS3 students, TinkerPlots brings an interactive dynamic dimension to data explorations in maths and science classrooms! TinkerPlots helps students see the connection between collecting and analysing data and formulating and testing their own hypotheses. TinkerPlots was developed by the Statistics Education Research group (SERG) at the University of Massachusetts. The group's mission is to better understand how people reason about probability, statistics and data analysis, and to use this understanding to improve the teaching of these topics. Students use TinkerPlots to create colourful visual representations of data - making sense out of numbers and recognising patterns as they unfold. TinkerPlots' amazing computer learning environment lets students learn by investigation.
