Thank you for joining us for our first Templeton-funded "Encouraging Mathematical Creativity" day. The team here enjoyed meeting you and, as predicted, found the feedback and comments you offered very useful. As promised, here are links to the resources we used or mentioned.
If you use these activities with your students and have any additional comments for us, please don't hesitate to get in touch. If you're not registered for our monthly email newsletter, you may want to do that now so that you hear about other CPD events as they are announced.
In Charlie and Liz's workshop and Alison and Bernard's workshop, we looked at maths on dotty grids.
All the resources we used in the session can be found here. You may be interested to read our article on how the resources might be used in the classroom. Follow the links from each resource to the Teachers' Resources for copies of the handouts we used.
In Fran and Lynne's workshop we tried the task of making a suit of diamond playing cards, using folding and only one straight cut to create each card's arrangement of 'diamonds' as holes.
The resource isn't published on the site yet, but a copy of it can be found here Suit of Diamonds

In the primary workshop we worked on three activities, none of which are published on the site yet. However, you can download copies of them here: BuildItUp.pdf BuildItUpMore.pdf RollOverTheDice.pdf
