True or False?

Activity type Consolidation

presentation 6.29

Most of the mathematical content has already been covered in previous spreads and students can be reassured that they already know most of it! This exercise is a quick, fun run through of different mathematical

content designed not to make it seem like a tedious maths lesson. It provides a series of slides in which students have to decide whether it is true or false. A good excuse for a competition!!

Practical use

Class whole group exercise (quiz), work in pairs or individually

Additional notes

You could time how long students get for each slide.

20 questions ? depending on how seriously you want to take this, you could score it as a minus for every incorrect

answer to discourage lazy guesswork! You could give extra points for the right answers.

Answers

See slides. The answer to each question is in the notes under every slide so you can go back at the end of the quiz and go over each one.

A mathematical quiz

Activity type Quiz

Call an `exercise' a `test' and it's altogether more scary than a quiz, so we'll opt for a quiz ? but it's the same!!

Practical use

Individual
