Roll a dice four times to create a number (e.g. 4258), then insert a decimal point somewhere (e.g. 42.58). Take a card from each pile and do the calculation (e.g. 42.58 ÷ 100 = 0.4258).

It’s designed to be used independently by your Year 7-8 students. It could be used as a follow-up from explicit teaching or a task for students to work through and problem-solve as they go. Unlike our face-to-face Maths Feast, there’s no limit to the number of teams that a school can enter into their DIY Maths Feast and entering different sized teams to fit with your situation is acceptable. We’ll be exploring how calculating surface areas and performance areas of cuboids and prisms can help you ensure that a stage or arena space can work best for your large-scale event.Finally, if your child is in year 11 or 12 and they want to study medicine, dentistry or veterinary science, or perhaps apply for Oxbridge they would normally be getting quite a lot of support with this. The final section provides guides on UCAT and BMAT tests; applying to medical school, the UCAS process etc. (The UCAT test used to be called UKCAT. Some material still has the K, some doesn’t. It is the same)

Our DIY Maths Feast consists of several rounds that require different skills and strategies for success. They aim to improve problem-solving skills using recreational maths, and improve teamwork and communication skills. Welcome to MathsDIY. I’m Kerry, a maths teacher with over 25 years experience including as Head of Mathematics. During these years I have helped literally hundreds (probably thousands) of students right through from year 3 up to those crucial years of GCSE and A level maths exams. COVERS 95+ CURRICULUM-BASED TOPICS: Our WJEC Maths Foundation and Intermediate GCSE Revision Guide covers over 95 relevant topics and is suitable for the WJEC GCSE exam board specifications.Furthermore, exams change all the time. So revision guides that were great five years ago are now out of date because the exam specifications are so different. Just be careful. Please be careful when buying support and revision materials for your children. Most revision guides that say AQA or Edexcel or GCSE 9 – 1 are for English specifications and the exams in England can be very different to the Welsh exam board. In Wales we follow WJEC. So GCSE Maths in England for example contains topics that are not examined in Wales and vice versa. Some revision guides are therefore no good at all, so do be careful. You could be wasting your money and your child could even be working on topics that will not come up in the exam. However, when it comes to the flashcards that I have listed below and the York Notes for their texts for English Literature there are no resources specific for WJEC so the ones included do work really well. We’ll be exploring how using cylinders and other 3D shapes can help with creating spectacular stage sets for your large-scale event. Calculators and equipment such as rulers and protractors aren’t permitted – this competition is based on your students’ brain power alone! What costs are involved?
