Puzzles and Starters. I love maths puzzles, I like solving them and I like setting them in lessons.
I have written many posts about how I’ve solved them, so I thought I would put some time in and collate them into a single page for people to use as starters. Most puzzles have more than one solution, the solutions I’ve blogged are the ones I came up with. And I’ve tried to include my reasoning and other thoughts around them. Often there are more efficient and concise solutions, so I see after I’m done and some other point out. If you solve them using a different method, I’d love to hear about it, feel free to use the comments or contact me. Here is a nice number puzzle that can be used for most year groups: A high school has a strange principal. There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the school.
