Whilst some UK schools have finished for the summer break, many will finish the summer term this week.

A reminder if you are looking for some end-of-term activities, this collection includes many ideas.

See also Summer Maths #1, including OCR’s 10 year celebration of their Maths Puzzles and some suggestions for Summer Maths activities.

For the summer break – some Maths puzzles and activities!

I have often mentioned OCR’s Maths puzzles; OCR is celebrating ten years of puzzles – you can see the puzzles on X (formerly Twitter).

BBC Bitesize Brainteaser of the Week – a collection of brainteasers.
The most recent brainteaser is Can you fill in the grid? Trying that brainteaser leads to these twelve quick quizzes.

Nrich has created this collection of tasks that are ideal for working on at home over the summer, perhaps with friends and/or relatives. You can see published solutions based on students’ work.

A reminder that numerous puzzles are available on the Puzzles and Games series of pages:

The end of the academic year and summer break are ideal times for checking and updating resources. This week – a look at my collection of Vocabulary resources which can all be found on the Vocabulary page. The most recent addition is for EAL students from Addvance Maths.

From Addvance Maths for EAL students, these printable vocabulary sheets are designed to welcome new students into your class who may struggle with some of the vocabulary.
