All the tasks will challenge learners to reason mathematically and some even involve taking part in their own Olympic events.
Half time
What could the half time scores have been in these Olympic hockey matches?
The animals' sports day
One day, five small animals in my garden had a sports day. Who do you think won each race?
Can you do it too?
Try some throwing activities and see whether you can throw something as far as the Olympic hammer or discus throwers.
The games' medals
Can you see who the gold medal winner is? What about the silver medal winner and the bronze medal winner?
Going for gold
Looking at the Olympic Medal table, can you see how the data is organised? Could the results be presented differently to give another nation the top place?
Olympic starters
Look at some of the results from the Olympic Games in the past. How do you compare if you try some similar activities?
Match the matches
Now and then
Have a look at the results for some events at past Olympic Games. Can you use these to predict the results at the next Olympics?
Olympic turns
This task looks at the different turns involved in different Olympic sports as a way of exploring the mathematics of turns and angles.
