Tarsia murder mystery

• Tarsia jigsaws with a difference• Numbers around the outside which spell out a

clue which relates to a suspect sheet• Using multiple Tarsia’s students can then work

as a group to identify the murder

GCSE packs

• Individual topics tested in GCSE• GCSE graded• Past exam questions

Tweak

• To develop Mathematical literacy across the Academy as a Mathematics faculty we have delivered short presentations which can be adapted across the school in all departments to improve Mathematical literacy

These follow the rules of BIDMAS

5 x 3 + 4 = 19

4 + 3 x 5 = 19

(4 + 3) x 5 = 35

Settling in taskWrite the date using numbers

So today will be 16:06:2014Can you use the numbers in the date to make the year?

1 6 0 6 2 0 = 14

1)Use all the numbers only once in any order.2)Use all the numbers in the order they are in

according to the date.

VM2 Stage 2 Date 16:05:2014
