  • This page is designed for whole class as a projected lesson starter. If you would like your students to work on this activity on their own iPads, laptops or tablets then the link at the bottom of this page will take you to the pupil version. This version has been updated so that the calculations are different every time the page is loaded and a Transum Trophy is available for completing it. Suggested solutions are available for Transum subscribers.

Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops?  This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments:

Transum.org/go/?Start=October2

However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below.

Here is the URL which will take them to a student version of this activity.
