Welcome to > teachers > teaching resources > special resources > build an army I have uploaded a bundle of free activities I have created to the TES website, called "Build an Army: Strength in Numbers".

Build an Army Maths Resources on mrbartonmaths

And yes, the title came before the activity. “Build an Army” is a fun (well, hopefully anyway!) , strategy game that can be used to consolidate understanding of key mathematical concepts. After students have played the game and described their strategy, there are opportunities for differentiation via various lines of inquiry and probing questions for the students to investigate. These are all freely available on TES, and can be accessed via the links below.

Don Steward Resources. I was very fortunate to meet Don Steward this morning at Huddersfield University.

Don Steward Resources

He ran a session for us about creativity and challenge in maths for 11-16 year olds. It was a really great blend of teaching strategies, activity ideas and very challenging open questions about strange number patterns and sequences that had all of us falling in love with our subject all over again. I may write a little more about it at another time, but for now, I wanted to share Don’s presentations and activity slides with you. He has very kindly allowed me to host them here to reach a wider audience than just the attendees. Links are underneath the set of pictures.

Rich Maths Tasks on mrbartonmaths

They allow consolidation of key skills, prevent students from copying each other (as all the questions are different), make marking and assessing easy for the teacher (as all the answers are the same!) , and provide a lovely extra challenge for students as they try to figure out exactly what is going on! In short, I think they are amazing, and thank you so much to John for sharing them with us all. The Background The Tasks The Background - by John Burke The tasks stemmed from a result that stayed with me from my time in the sixth form (and that's approximately 40 years!).

Having seen this approach work well I spotted that some RISPS (Jonny Griffiths) I had used had a similar theme (I include some RISPS in my SIC resources) and so I was determined to build more in a similar vein (and for younger year groups).

From here you can download, print, cut and build your own polyhedral pseudoglobe (if you have no experience building paper or card models, please read the assembly tips).
