articleGroup work depends on effective team work. This article describes attributes of effective team work and links to "Team Building" problems that can be used to develop learners' team working skills. -
problemArranging Squares
A task which depends on members of the group working collaboratively to reach a single goal.
-
problemTriangles in the Middle
This task depends on groups working collaboratively, discussing and reasoning to agree a final product. -
problemFavouriteWhich Spinners?
Can you work out which spinners were used to generate the frequency charts?
-
problemFavouriteVector Walk
Starting with two basic vector steps, which destinations can you reach on a vector walk?
-
problemWhich Quadratic?
This task develops knowledge of transformation of graphs. By framing and asking questions a member of the team has to find out which mathematical function they have chosen.
-
problemFavouritePerception Versus Reality
Infographics are a powerful way of communicating statistical information. Can you come up with your own?
-
problemFavouriteExploring Cubic Functions
Quadratic graphs are very familiar, but what patterns can you explore with cubics?
-
problemFavouriteBack Fitter
10 graphs of experimental data are given. Can you use a spreadsheet to find algebraic graphs which match them closely, and thus discover the formulae most likely to govern the underlying processes?
-
problemFavouriteWhat's That Graph?
Can you work out which processes are represented by the graphs?
-
problemFavouriteKite in a Square
Can you make sense of the three methods to work out what fraction of the total area is shaded?
-
problemBig and Small Numbers in Physics - Group Task
Work in groups to try to create the best approximations to these physical quantities.
-
problemWhose Line Graph Is It Anyway?
Which line graph, equations and physical processes go together?
-
problemCalculus Countdown
Can you hit the target functions using a set of input functions and a little calculus and algebra?
-
-
problemGuess the Function
This task depends on learners sharing reasoning, listening to opinions, reflecting and pulling ideas together.
