  • We enjoyed this starter. Some people got mixed up with the number of ropes but a lot of us got it right!!
  • Transum,

  • You may need a clue if you are finding this activity difficult. Consider the set of numbers 1 to 6, do they each have the same number of consecutive partners in the set? Are any numbers different to the others in this respect? How about the snowballs, do they all have the same number of ropes attached to them?
    Hope you all are enjoying the Christmas activities on Transum. There are lots more on the ChristMaths page.

Laptops In Lessons

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=December18

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