Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician?

Comment recorded on the 14 September 'Starter of the Day' page by Trish Bailey, Kingstone School:

"This is a great memory aid which could be used for formulae or key facts etc - in any subject area. The PICTURE is such an aid to remembering where each number or group of numbers is - my pupils love it!
Thanks"

Comment recorded on the 7 December 'Starter of the Day' page by Cathryn Aldridge, Pells Primary:

"I use Starter of the Day as a registration and warm-up activity for my Year 6 class. The range of questioning provided is excellent as are some of the images.
I rate this site as a 5!"

Each month a newsletter is published containing details of the new additions to the Transum website and a new puzzle of the month.

The newsletter is then duplicated as a podcast which is available on the major delivery networks. You can listen to the podcast while you are commuting, exercising or relaxing.

Transum breaking news is available on Twitter @Transum and if that's not enough there is also a Transum Facebook page.

Snooker Investigation

Snooker Investigation

Given the width and height of a snooker table can you predict which pocket the ball will end up in and how many times will it bounce off one of the sides?

Numeracy

"Numeracy is a proficiency which is developed mainly in Mathematics but also in other subjects. It is more than an ability to do basic arithmetic. It involves developing confidence and competence with numbers and measures. It requires understanding of the number system, a repertoire of mathematical techniques, and an inclination and ability to solve quantitative or spatial problems in a range of contexts. Numeracy also demands understanding of the ways in which data are gathered by counting and measuring, and presented in graphs, diagrams, charts and tables."

Go Maths

Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths main page links to more activities designed for students in upper Secondary/High school.

"If you having difficulties when you get to Level 3 Rotations you are not alone. Rotations are difficult without using tracing paper to help. I stumbled across this video on YouTube in which George Turner shows the windmill method:

Which Transformation? - This is an easy exercise to begin with asking you to recognise some very simple transfomations.

Level 1 - Reflect a shape in a given line

Level 2 - Translate a shape by a given vector

Level 3 - Rotate a shape about a given point by a given angle

Level 4 - Enlarge a shape from a given point by a given scale factor

Level 5 - Transform a shape by a given matrix

Level 6 - Mixed questions without diagrams

Level 7 - Describe the transformation from the diagrams

Exam Style questions are in the style of GCSE or IB/A-level exam paper questions and worked solutions are available for Transum subscribers.

There is a printable worksheet to go with this activity.

Finally try Blow Up, a clallenge to find all the points that could be the centre of enlargement of a shape if the image does not go off the grid. Great fun!

Answers to this exercise are available lower down this page when you are logged in to your Transum account. If you don’t yet have a Transum subscription one can be very quickly set up if you are a teacher, tutor or parent.
