This activity is an adaptation of the incredible 'Prime Climb' mathematical exploration created by Daniel Finkel and Katherine Cook of Math for Love. This resource is a classroom display that mimics the 'prime climb' array, allowing students to be allocated values and then they can colour or paint the values according to their prime building blocks. The intent is for the visual and the learning behind it remains visible within the classroom once it is displayed. The pack includes the following

Students solve problems related to simple (extended to compound in this task) interest (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). Simple, editable, print and go activity or assessment. In this task, students calculate compound interest, then make recommendations based on their findings. This task will require them to make selections of buyers, banks and properties, then use the compound interest formula and other related calculations to resolve the problem. Extensive extension opportunities

Students solve problems related to histograms and stem-and-leaf plots of data sets.

Students apply index laws to numbers (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). Each of these Differentiated Assessment options are designed to allow students to demonstrate the extent of their understanding at their level of readiness. I explain the options to the students, highlighting the increase of complexity from ' bronze' to ' silver' to ' gold'. Each subsequent task builds load on the students' higher order thinking skills. My suggested practice is that you allow students to choose

Students learn the features of inverse operations and practice solving one and two-step equations to find unknown values (pronumerals). This resource is a lesson scaffold which ideally accompanies the editable PPT lesson, which follows an 'I do, We do, You do' structure in which students will: - identify inverse operations - collectively learn and practice the solve process for one and two-step equations - complete a short 'check for understanding' when solving equations - consolidate their ski

Students expand binomial expressions (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This differentiated assessment task allows students to showcase their capacity to expand binomial expressions. Students with a strong grasp of the concept can take on the gold extension, which requires them to factorise binomial expressions. Each section is accompanied by worked examples, with the expanding of binomial expressions linked back to the FOIL, Crab Claw and Multiplication Grid methods. This is an edi

Students solve problems related to simple interest (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). Simple, editable, print and go activity or assessment. In this task, students select an item, then explore a buy it now (loan) or buy it later (savings) pathway. To do this, they complete a series of scaffolded calculations, and provide reasoning for choices made throughout. The task culminates with students providing reasoning relevant to their chosen option. This task is the first in a series of

This activity board supplements the 'Area of Composite Shapes PPT'.In this simple game, students utilise dice and the board to battle for the available area. This board allows for many iterations of dice games, its open ended! In my class I like to suggest to students that what they roll on the 2 dice, is the dimension of their array which they can claim from the opponent, without overlap. In the latter stages they can split their arrays either horizontally or vertically and place them. If t

Students use efficient mental and written strategies to carry out the four operations with integers (Year 8, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This Differentiated Task is a ready to deploy activity on the order of operations (BEDMAS). It is differentiated to provide appropriate challenges for a range of students. Students will investigate, apply and create according to the bronze, silver or gold challenge that they select. This is an editable resource, and can be adjusted to suit your n

Students identify complementary and supplementary angle types (prelude to Year 7 to Year 9 Geometric Reasoning, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This Handout forms an explicit lesson designed to assist students to learn and apply the skills required for identifying and measuring complementary and supplementary angle types. Depending on how fast your students move, and the length of your lessons, this could be up to 2 lessons. This Handout can be used as a remote learning tool, complet
