Year 6 Being resourceful

What happens if you join every second point on this circle? How about every third point? Try with different steps and see if you can predict what will happen.

Let's say you can only use two different lengths - 2 units and 4 units. Using just these 2 lengths as the edges how many different cuboids can you make?

Can you fill in this table square? The numbers 2 -12 were used to generate it with just one number used twice.

You have been given three shapes made out of sponge: a sphere, a cylinder and a cone. Your challenge is to find out how to cut them to make different shapes for printing.

Each of the nets of nine solid shapes has been cut into two pieces. Can you see which pieces go together?

Can you see how these factor-multiple chains work? Find the chain which contains the smallest possible numbers. How about the largest possible numbers?

This challenge is a game for two players. Choose two of the numbers to multiply or divide, then mark your answer on the number line. Can you get four in a row?

The challenge for you is to make a string of six (or more!) graded cubes.

What fraction of the black bar are the other bars? Have a go at this challenging task!

Can you compare these bars with each other and express their lengths as fractions of the black bar?
