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 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 ... use trigonometric ratios to solve problems involving right-angled triangles (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This Folio Task or Assessment can be used to ascertain the level of student understanding within the top. It uses a range of visual, worded, problem-solving and higher order thinking questions to assess student understanding. This Folio Task or Assessment can be used as a standalone resource or as a part of the broader Trigonometry Unit. Learning Intention:•
Students calculate the area of composite shapes (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This differentiated assessment task allows students to showcase their capacity to calculate the area of composite shapes. Students with a strong grasp of the concept can take on the gold extension, which requires them to work with more complex shapes than the bronze and silver challenges. This is an editable resource, and can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Students apply index laws to numbers (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This ' silver' component of the Differentiated Assessment allows students to apply index laws. Students will navigate through a maze by selecting equations where index laws have been correctly applied. Students can participate in extended versions of the task to demonstrate their strong understanding through the creation of their own equations that showcase correct application of the index laws. The 'bronze' or
Students apply index laws to numbers (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This ' bronze' component of the Differentiated Assessment allows students to apply index laws. To do this they will apply index laws to a range of questions. They will then use their answers to navigate through a maze by selecting equations where index laws have been correctly applied. Students can participate in extended versions of the task to demonstrate their strong understanding through the creation of the
Students apply index laws to numbers (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This ' gold' component of the Differentiated Assessment allows students to show their extended understanding of how to apply index laws. To do this they will identify, solve, create and correct through the application of index laws in multiple contexts. This will test their higher order thinking skills and allow them to demonstrate evidence of learning in the higher grade bands. The 'bronze' or 'silver' challe
Students apply index laws to numbers (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This Reasoning Task allows students to make sense of indices by mapping them on a Power Line through a guided activity. This task helps students make connections between index, expanded and evaluated forms. This reasoning task is complemented by the Power Lines (Indices, Powers, Exponents) PPT Lesson or the Index Laws Unit PPT. This is an editable resource, and can be adjusted to suit your needs.
