Is it possible to use a 'broken calculator' in this activity to make a given set of numbers?

Students are required to show how they would use each calculator to generate the numbers from one to twenty.

These resources, published by BEAM, are aimed at Key Stage Two and give students opportunities to practise and consolidate their mathematical knowledge through playing games.

The games and their mathematical content are :

*Shapes - counting sides of shapes

*20 or more - addition to 20

*...

In this activity children are challenged to solve a range of problems relating to capacity in a meaningful context. Children choose a card from a series of cards with capacities indicated on them. They then work in pairs or small groups to discuss how they can create the quantity by using three containers of...

In this problem solving activity children choose and carry out a range of calculations in order to plan a Christmas event. The party has to suit a particular number of people and fit within a specific budget so they have to make decisions by looking at realistic pricing options such as: per-person, according to...

This activity focuses on coin recognition and addition skills. Designed to be used as a bingo game involving calculation, it may also be used as a simple sorting and matching activity.

Each child has a Bingo Board featuring nine stamps, a selection of coins in a bag and a set of counters to mark off the...

This resource focuses on developing coin recognition skills in either a bingo game or a collecting, sorting and matching activity. As a Bingo game, each child should have a board and the group also need a selection of coins in a bag. Children take it in turns to select a coin at random from the bag, covering a...

This activity from Cre8ate maths explores Platonic solids, which are formed from regular polygons where all their faces are identical and all their vertices are identical too. Students are told that there are only five platonic solids, which they can build using triangles, squares and pentagons. Completing the...

Published by BEAM, these two data handling games are from the Maths of the Month series. Three digits - a game for two players. Each player takes turns to place a counter on a number. The winner is the first player to have three counters on numbers which contain the same digit. Venn Diagram Game - a game for two...

This game, published by BEAM, poses a number of questions aimed at developing students' understanding of simple probability using a set of number cards. Probably - a game for two players. The chooser chooses a card from the set of cards. The guesser has to guess whether the card id shows an odd or an even number....

Based on the game of battleships, this activity is an effective way of practising grid references and co-ordinates. Children take it in turns to roll two dice and place a counter on the board; the faces of the dice determine the co-ordinates where their counter can go...

A selection of games published by BEAM to help students practise and consolidate their mathematical understanding of fractions and decimal equivalents.

*Coloured shapes - colouring fractions of shapes according to a rule

*3 fractions in a line - strategy game, working out a fraction of a quantity...

Future Morph Careers Quest was developed for students attending one of the the Big Bang science fairs. In the activity, students question exhibitors about aspects of their work and how they had chosen their particular career.

Whilst developed for an exhibition context, the resources can suggest questions for...

This maths activity offers a 'real life' context for learning about place value. A series of clues are provided which lead to specific numbers. These numbers represent meter readings and part of the challenge is for the children to accurately enter the numbers onto an analogue and a digital recording sheets. To...
