About This Lesson
A Tarsia activity on Basic Number. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning. For more ideas on how to use these types of activities (including twists!) and to download the latest version of the wonderful free software to open this resource (and create your own), just click on the web-link. If you have any comments, or spot any (non deliberate!) mistakes, please share them below. Many thanks to all the teachers who have helped me assemble these Tarsias over the years.
This is a really nice tarsia on some basic number work. Students must answer questions on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, it is not necessary for them to have an understanding of BIDMAS. You could add some more difficult questions to provide some more challenge. This would make an excellent starter and would allow you to listen to student discussion which can be so valuable. Thank you for sharing.
