Treasure Hunt
Age
7 to 14
Challenge level
Can you find a reliable strategy for choosing coordinates that will locate the treasure in the minimum number of guesses?
problem
How far does it move?
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the red dot affects the distance it travels at each stage.
problem
Parallel lines
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
How does the position of the line affect the equation of the line?
What can you say about the equations of parallel lines?
problem
Reflecting Lines
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
Investigate what happens to the equations of different lines when you reflect them in one of the axes. Try to predict what will happen. Explain your findings.
problem
Translating Lines
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
Investigate what happens to the equation of different lines when
you translate them. Try to predict what will happen. Explain your
findings.
problem
How steep is the slope?
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
On the grid provided, we can draw lines with different gradients.
How many different gradients can you find? Can you arrange them in
order of steepness?
problem
Speeding up, slowing down
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons,
and explore how the different positions of the red dot affects its
speed at each stage.
problem
Route to infinity
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
Can you describe this route to infinity? Where will the arrows take you next?
problem

problem
Up and across
Age
11 to 14
Challenge level
